if it is wireless enabled system you will need either a wireless card or built in 11.g wireless laptop, failing that take the modem lead from the office computer [if you canr decide which it is then take the ethernet cable from the office computer] and plug into your laptop.. dont forget to take a power supply and a lead to connect the camera to the laptop or a multi card reader

Just had an email from the people we're renting from - the connection is not wireless; we have to plug into the Internet. [as the tv is cable, I would assume that the internet is part of the same package.]

So will take the broadband modem, + power lead and camera lead AND the card reader - they're already in the laptop carrybag :)
Now another question - on another board re: a similar question, someone posted:

"Hints if you take your laptop out of your home:

1. Take a network cable with you
2. Outside the UK do NOT use a modem. A connection will cost you an International call.
3. For wireless, get hold of some software called "Network Stumbler"

Anyone know anything about "Network Stumbler". IPass Connect was also mentioned, but that's aimed more at the businessman.

Why would you need to take a broadband modem with you? You only need the modem to establish an Internet connection, but the apartment already has one, correct? Or did you mean ethernet card when you said "broadband modem"?

Now I'm confused :? - but yes, I probably mean the ethernet card.

Apologies for late reply but have had problems logging in on this Forum.
