Work Laptops are often locked down so you can't connect to networks outside of the company. To get help with such locked down laptops you should consult with your IT department, maybe they will make an exception to their policy if you need to work from home. If not, then EE can't help as that would circumvent company Policies, and that isn't allowed at EE.

I am working from home today and have my work laptop. &nbsp;It is an older Dell Laptop that does not have integrated wireless...I use a plug in card, which I don't have. &nbsp;It has Windows XP loaded.<br />
<br />
I can sign into the computer locally, but I cannot get on the internet even when plugged into the ethernet port with an ethernet cable from my home router. &nbsp;I usually use this network cable with a home desktop for internet access so I know the cable and connection are good.<br />
<br />
However, when I plug it into the laptop and try to navigate out using the browser, I can't get anywhere.<br />
<br />
It seems to me I have done this with other laptops.... what am I missing?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages.
