Hi, I was just "given" a Dell CSx that runs on windows NT and I have to put a database making program on it. I cant do that if i can't connect it to the internet. please tell me how.

If I recall this laptop has no built in wireless or modem due to its age. I dont think it even has a cd rom drive. It had some multimedia connector port.

You would need a PCMCIA/USB modem or wireless network card. This being an NT machine you might have problems with driver support as many people are not making drivers for legacy type machines, saying that searching the web you can get nearly anything. This machine is not even suitable to upgrade to XP.

If anyone knows better please chip in.
