Thanks kids!

This is exactly the information I was seeking.  My
networking needs are few and probably very basic.  If
it can see my LAN to access the web wirelessly, that's
about all I care about and frankly even that's not all
that important.

Now if someone could tell me why this old Sony VAIO
can't see my wireless network I'd be in heaven!
