I am in a very serious financial situation. And I need to keep the internet cause of work related. What I want to do would only be for a short time till I can get back on my feet again. I had a friend of mine come over with his lap top to see if I could get an internet connection inside my home from somebody in the neighborhoods wireless modem. I do have a connection. Very low connection but it was enough for me to surf the web and I didn't get booted off. I don't own a laptop and I use a desktop for work and that is located in the basement where I don't recieve any outside signals. Anyway could somebody tell me if I were to put up an antenna would that bring in the signal from outside and down to my desktop. What would I need to get that signal into my pc. I have an antenna that I can get from my dad but I don't know what type of line is on it. I think it is a reg. co ax cable on the antenna. If this idea would work could somebody please tell me what wire would I need in the antenna and how to get it to my pc. Do I need anything on my pc to get the signal in. I understand the mixed feelings on this subject I don't like it neither. But I would only consider this for a short time. If you don't want to respond to me on the forum please, please pm me. Thanks, And I hope you understand.
