I have Verizon online dsl and have it with my desktop computer. I also have a laptop as well but do not have a wireless router. So basically have laptop has no internet at all. I prefer to use my laptop over my desktop.

Can i just my laptop as the computer with the Verizon Online Dsl instead of my desktop? I knokw that if i get a wireless router this wouldnt be any problem but can i have my laptop use my home Verizon Online Dsl as my "base" computer?

If so, how do you do this? I am terrible with computers

how is your desktop physically connected to the internet? With a LAN cable? If so, just unplug it from you DT and stick it in your LT.

When I had verizon dsl I had to "dial-up" using PPPoE. An install cdrom should have been included when he got his dsl bridge.

I had the worst experience with verizon dsl. Cut to the chase- i have 2 dsl modems (both can be wirelsee) which you are welcome to- just pay for shipping. Im in the U.S..

one is an actionteck, other is a westell. I got comcast cable high speed internet. What a difference. [censored] verizon.
