How do I connect to the internet with a satellite laptop?

Just purchased a Toshiba Satellite Laptop and cannot connect to the internet. I was assuming that I could just connect and surf but I keep getting message to put in a password. Do I need to purchase access to this service? Or, do I need to connect through a router? Help....How do I connect to the internet with a satellite laptop?
First, you need to sign up for an internet connection.


An internet connection can come in a variety of guises and tariffs.


For instance, there is Dial up, ADSL, Cable, Optical Fibre etc.





In most cases, you contact an ISP (internet service provider) and sign up for a specific internet plan. In many cases, the telephone company also acts as the ISP. For instance in the UK, BT provides both telephone, internet services and various other data services.





The easiest and fastest way to get online is to purchase a dial up package.


Dial up is not a broadband connection. this means that your internet connection will be slow. Also you will not be able to use your phone while you surf the internet. This is because dial up uses the same frequency as voice through the telephone line. You may be able to purchase dial up packaged from supermarkets or convenient stores. In order to use dial up, you need to have a modem. Most laptops have these.





ADSL also uses the telephone line, however, since the frequency is higher than voice, both voice and data can travel on the same line. ADSL is also much faster than Dial up becasue of this.





ADSL, Cable and Optical Fiber connnections normally come with their own modems and routers this will most likely be included with the internet plan. In order to use these sevices, your laptop will need an Ethernet port. Most laptops have these. You can also get the ISP to install a wireless router for you. In which case you can surf wirefree. You will need a wireless module for your laptop. Again most laptops have one by default.





The best option is to search online for ISPs in your part of the country and also compare the tariffs.

You need to subscribe to a internet service provider, connect with a wireless router, then your satellite can connect thro wireless to the net. Which country you are in? some country have prepaid card that you can purchase and access to the net thro dial-up phone line connection.
