im gonna purchase a netbook soon and was wondering how can i install the cd for isp when theres no disc drive. not planning to get an external drive. i heard yu can share files on the main computer through a network and connect to that network via netbook thus acessing the isp. i dont plan to connect the netbook to the net with ethernet obviously.

BUTT .. i was curious .. issit really necessary ? i mean netbook can access the network therefore allowing the use of the internet. am i correct ?

but then again i got a wireless modem with a usb modem. if the netbooks can detect the network. whats with the usb modem ? or "must" i use the usb modem because it more secure?faster? more beneficial ? if so how ?

sorry to hassle ya guys if i did but if you can help its much appreciated. thank youu
oh .. umm its like its a wireless modem but with it comes with a "USB" modem. assuming yu must plug it in in order to use the internet. but then alot of computers can detect and then use the internet(like going to a cafe/uni with wifi or "hotspots")

Umm... let me make this simple:

-> you can copy the contents of the CD on a flash drive and plug it in.

i heard yu can share files on the main computer through a network and connect to that network via netbook thus acessing the isp. i dont plan to connect the netbook to the net with ethernet obviously.

--> you can but it would be a bit complicated. The main computer needs to have a wireless modem or wireless that is connected to a wireless router if you're not going to use ethernet. But point is, if you have a wireless router, you won't be needing to connect to the main computer.

BUTT .. i was curious .. issit really necessary ? i mean netbook can access the network therefore allowing the use of the internet. am i correct ?

--> I didn't get what you mean.

but then again i got a wireless modem with a usb modem. if the netbooks can detect the network. whats with the usb modem ? or "must" i use the usb modem because it more secure?faster? more beneficial ? if so how ?

--> Not sure what you mean. If you have wireless then use wireless. There is no benefit between wired and wireless (unless your area has very bad reception or too many interference).

--> no problem
