Say you have a Kindle or phone with 3G, how can you connect it with your home computer to let your regular desk top surf on the 3G?

I have a new Vostro 1400 laptop with 2 batteries for backup when traveling, but I use it for my home computer too. I’ve been keeping a battery in it, but also using the charger plug-in. Is this bad for the battery? Should I take out the battery when I use house power or take out the charger plug-in until the Dell warns me that the battery is low?

Mine is on a desk.

What would be the best type of WIFI that affordable?

I have Yahoo DSL. It was easy to set up a year or so ago when I got it. I even set up a network in the house so my laptop could print to the printer attached to the other desk top computer. But suddenly, a few months ago, I couldn’t do that any more — I would get an error message.

The laptop’s diagnostics told me that either (1) a cable was unplugged (but this is a wireless network, so there are no cables) or (2) my router — you know, the box that came with the DSL set-up — wasn’t connected or wasn’t working properly. But it’s turned on, all the lights are on, and both the laptop and the other computer can access the internet wirelessly.

So, what’s my problem?
