This time next week I'll have moved in. How exciting :biggrin: Although, I'm worried I'll miss out on a load of socialising because I don't have a passport, and I won't be able to get my provisional licence before I leave.

Week today I'm moving in. That is if my car doesn't stop working because of the weight of all my things inside it.

One week :biggrin:. Oooh I can't wait.

I'm afraid I'm going to move the topic back to the whole internet malark. I just know I'm going to have problems setting the internet up when I get there, I'm clueless with things like this.

What the hell is a UTP Ethernet card?!! Or a PCMCIA Ethernet card? We have to buy them?!

Look on the side of your laptop (I'm guessing you have one). Can you see anything that looks like this?:


If so, you already have everything you need. Unless it's a really old laptop, I can almost guarantee you'll have one of those connectors. Most newer desktop computers would have them as well.

It's literally about a week old. Yes it looks like that, well...just a hole with some lines. Haha, but yeah it's like that.

Thank you.
