How deos a computer know what to do?
Your motherboard (commonly called your processor) is the brain of your computer, it tells your computer what to do from boot up to shut down, it tells your hard drive to boot up Windows when you boot up your computer, and to shut down Windows when you turn it off. It controls every piece of hardware in your computer.

How do you connect to the internet via wireless adapter on a dial up computer?
ADDITIONAL INFO! I don't know how to add it to the question, soo... I have a very old computer running windows 2000 ME and it usually connects to the internet through dial up. We got rid of dial up a long time ago and recently I bought a NETGEAR WG111T wireless adapter. I downloaded the installation files onto my working computer and transferred them to the second non-internet computer via flash drive and installed all the needed software and drivers. The adapter is connected to my router but my computer wants to use dial-up to connect to the internet. Does anyone know a way to re-work the computer so that it connects to the internet with the adapter not dial-up?

Steps in the boot process?
1. the computer is switched on. 2.computer loads data from ROM and checks whether all the major components like processor,hard disc are functioning properly. 3.computer loads bios(basic input/output system) from ROM to determine the machine's fundamental configuration and environment. 4.computer loads the operating system from the secondary storage(hard disc) into ram .this allows the CPU to have immediate access to the operating system ,which enhances the performance and functionality of the overall system.
