You have to plug in the phone line in dial-up modem card installed in your computer. Then goto My Computer => Network Connections => Setup a new connection => Dial-Up. Now ask the dialing number from your telephone provider help, they will give you the number, type that number in the field and then dial, you will be connected to the internet.

Note that the cost will be the same as the cost of your telephone call charges, i.e, amount will increase with each minute (depends on your provider).

Answer 5

Well this all depends on your laptop

if your laptop has wireless u can connect wirelessley (probably is)

to do this you will need a wireless router (if your laptop does not have a built in modem then you will need a modem router- which usually cost around £60-£120) your using dial up (not the best way but ill help) you should have a grey wire connected to your modem/router and to your phone line and a yellow wire connected to your ethernet port on your laptop or connected to you wireless router (you will not need one if it is a modem router (both built in together)  

Answer 6

To connect to dial-up you would need to plug in the phone line.

To connect to wireless, use the wireless network connections box (usually in the bottom right corner of your Windows) and choose an open network and connect to it. If the network is secured you would need the passkey to get into it.
