A Stupid Question

[J.T.]

I am a complete dunce when it comes to technology. I have only recently gone on to broadband.

Now for the really stupid question....... :wacko:

If I take my laptop away with me this week will I still be able to get onto K9 ? (other websites are available :lol: :lol: )

I have a laptop & wireless setup at home. So, will it still work up in Cumbria?

I know this is a really dim question but I know people use their pc's on trains so obviously it must be possible.

I won't have electric hookup but the battery will last for a while. The router thingy will be switched on at home but will it reach that far? See, I told you it was a stupid one :b :b

only if there is wireless where you're going (or if someone nearby has an unsecured connection you can nick!)

 

[J.T.]

That sounds like NO then :lol: It's unlikely that anyone will have wireless as it's a dog show in the middle of a field.

I'm getting withdrawal symptoms already :sweating:

Thanks.

no it wont reach your router at home, but like urchin says if you go some place that has wirless then you can use it there, Mcdonalds for example :thumbsup:

Just out of interest , how do people use them on trains then?

:b I don't know the exact details, but think ALL of the phone shops can sell you (£7.50 and upwards per month) a connection to use on the move with your laptop - some of them want you to sign in to a contract so if its a one off just buy a single month one saying you want to try how effective it is?

Hope that helps and someone can advise in more detail.

They might not be on the internet J.T :thumbsup: but as far as I know like Bappit says you can use them by mobile network like you can connect to the net on a mobile phone :thumbsup:

I don't fancy your chances for the field though :thumbsup:

Thanks.

I think I'll just resign myself to a K9 free week

It's less to pack anyway :lol:

Cheers all, have a nice week without me :- "
