Hi there

I am a complete novice at wireless networking but managed to set up a small
network myself several years ago.

My dad has just bought a laptop computer and wants to be able to use his
broadband connection with it.  He DOES NOT want to be able to use both
computers at the same time so all he wants to know is how to set up the
wireless laptop to his Tiscali broadband.  Can anyone PLEASE Help?

Thank you.

I will assume wireless since you did not say.  You will need a wireless
router and a wireless adapter for the laptop whihc it more than likely is
already built in.
