    Well, assuming you have a DSL router, all you really need is a network cable to connect to the notebook.

    Of course, to go wireless, you need a wireless router, and a wireless card.

    Before I had a router, I would directly connect from my computer via the network card, which would dial up to the isp server. But the problem that you might have is that your isp software says that there is no network card,

    well that's what mine said :(

    Im sorry if this doesnt help you, as I really dont know what you really said.,
