You're going to need either a wired or wireless solution (duh) - a 16 bit PCMCIA 802.11b card might be a good option, check the HCL for your options. Obviously you would need a wireless router in order to use said wireless adapter in your 780.

Your other main option would be a wired network card, which again you should check the HCL for. Both wired and wireless options can be obtained easily (and on the cheap) from eBay or the like.

Hope that helps!

Thanks a lot corporate for your suggestion. another thigns is it hub or duh? what hcl mean. Is it handheld computer link?. another things if i get wireless router would that work well withou 16 bit pcmcia. In refer to hub , do u need seperate ip address from isp which will be extra charge?

1. wireless/wired hub
2. 16 bit pcmcia card 802.1lb
3. wireless router for 280 adapter
or wireless network card.

you need a wifi card (either PCMCIA 16 bit or CF card) and a wireless router. that's all.

the adapters aren't built-in physically, you see just some drivers there..
ne2000 isn't even wlan, just a lan driver.. so you still need to buy a suitable wlan card.
every wireless router will work fine

er.. You mean every 802.11b/g router.
802.11a or 802.11m/n will cause a little problem
