alright, I managed to update the os. but still nothing. everything else in the house connects to the network but the hp laptop.

what would happen if i didn't have one/ didn't have a port? if i went with the windows install how would i do it without internet?

im sorry to sound stupid, but where would i find an ethernet cable? would it be connected to the router?

woah! it is up. I don't think I really did anything though lol. but hey it's up so all is good!

ah, i see. I don't really have a reference level for some things so im sorry.

yeah, but it doesn't take paypal I believe.
