Wireless Internet Connection
My current internet connection is a DSL line through SBC with a 2Wire Home Portal. I have an Inspirion 4000 with an Actiontec Combo Card (Modem/NIC). What other equipment or cards are required for me to obtain wireless service? My hard drive has crashed and if any installation is needed I would like to do it all at once.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

If you have the 2wire model 1100, then you will need a wireless access point. If you have any other 2wire DSL router, you should be set on the head end. Now all you need is a way to receive the signal at your laptop, either an mPCI wireless card (not sure if the 4000 has mPCI slots) or a PCMCIA external wireless card.
Here is a link to the 2wire web site to check your modem: http://www.2wire.com
