Yes you can, you need an ethernet cabl/lead. They dont cost to much.
Just make sure that you have internet on your laptop.
To connect the xbox 360 and your aptop together, you need to bridge a connection, go onto the control panel or find a button that says internet connections or something like that, you will the find a xbox icon ( if i can remember) you then highlight the xbox icon and the icon that represents your computer connection, right click and then click bridge connections. =]

Why has the wifi on your laptop stopped working?
This question is too general, not enough detail to determine the cause. Internet running slow defend on a number of issues, for example, you didn't pay enough bandwidth with your IP provider, or too many people using the same share network (like in a corporation environment...), or your CP is full of junks (cookies, temporary files...)
Do laptops give off radiation?
No they don't and if you happen to be pregnant and you are sitting at your computer and you notice that your baby is moving around as if it's uncomfortable it is NOT the computer. It's just the way you are positioned. Sadly, and god bless you if this happens, your wife or you have a miscarriage it wasn't the computers fault. The amount of birth defects (3%) and miscarriages (15%) has always been the same.

Can you add a graphics card to your Acer extensa 5235 laptop?
No, the graphics chipset on nearly all laptops is on the motherborad and laptops do not not have expansion slots. Desktops often have "on-board" graphis as well, but they have expansion slots so you can disable the on-board graphics and add a video card to one of the expansion slots to upgrade the graphics.
What is wrong with a laptop if it doesn't turn on at all but it is charged?

What are the codes for a Toshiba se-r0402?
If you want to make it region free or change the region the code is 9 8 7 9 then put the number of the region in straight after, but 0 is the one I put in so eg. 9 8 7 9 0. A blue rectangle should come in the right top corner saying the region you changed it to. (0 is region free). Eject Disc first if you have a disc in, or this will not work...
How do you change your wifi password on your laptop?
Your not setting a "password", your really setting an encryption key.
This can be done in the WebGUI (Web Graphical User Interface) of your router.
Find the documentation for your router, either the paper manual that came with it, a CD that came with it, or online at the manufactuers website. And lookup how to enable WEP or WPA (Wired Equivalent Privacy or (WiFi Protected Access).
WPA2-PSK is the highest level of security available.
WPA-PSK is also pretty high, but has been cracked.
WEP is almost useless, and can be cracked in minutes by amateurs.

How do you open laptop if forgot password?
It is not easy to unlock your forgotten password, but it is possible. Let's take a look at the following 4 methods about how you can access your system even if the login password has been forgotten.
Method 1. Unlock a Laptop with Windows Built-in Password Reset Disk
All Windows operating systems including Windows 8.1, 8, 7, Vista and XP have a built-in password reset features. If you have created such a password reset disk before you forgot the password, you can unlock this computer. Just click the "reset password" link below the login screen and follow the on-screen steps. You'll have to select the appropriate disk and then enter a new password. Presto! Your computer is unlocked.
Method 2. Reset Your Microsoft Account Password Online to Unlock Windows 8.1/8 PC
Windows 8.1 and Windows 8 give you option to sign up for a (or sign in with your existing) Microsoft account. If you ever forget your Windows 8.1/8 password, you can reset your Microsoft Account password online from any browser, on any computer or device, including your smart phone.
Note: Not sure whether you login to Windows 8.1/8 with a Microsoft account? If you login with an Email address, then you're using a Microsoft account. If you login with something other than an email address, like your name or some other handle, or you're using Windows 7 and preview versions, then you're using a local account and this method won't work. Turn to versatile alternative - Windows Password Key.
Method 3. Have another Administrator to Unlock your Computer without Password
If you share your computer with someone who has an administrator level access, you can ask him for him to unlock your account since those with administrator privileges can manage the passwords of all the users, this person would be able to remove your Windows 7 password for you from within his or her account. Then you can unlock your computer with no password. You are the only user for this account, keep on reading.
Method 4. Unlock Computer Password by Using Windows Password Key
Using the password reset disk is just fine if you have prepared beforehand, but if you are reading this article, I'd say there is a fair chance that you didn't. Resetting Microsoft Account online is convenient, but what if you're using local account or your OS is neither Windows 8.1 nor Windows 8. Asking another administrator is good, but you'll have to pass on this idea entirely if you're the only user on your computer.
There is best PC password unlocker software here. Windows Password Key is highly recommended by thousands of users around the world. It can unlock PC password for local administrator and standard user accounts. It is fully compatible with Windows 8.1/8/7/Vista/XP and supports all laptop and desktop and all PC brands, such as HP, Dell, Acer, Lenovo, Toshiba, Asus, Samsung, Sony.
Here's how to unlock password-protected computer with this software.
Step 1: Download Windows Password Key, install and launch it on another available PC. Inset a USB flash drive into it. Click "Burn".
Step 2: Insert the newly created USB drive to the locked computer. Set USB drive as the first boot device in BIOS setup. This computer will reboot.
Step 3: Windows Password Key loads, follow the interface to reset your Windows password.
In conclusion, Windows Password Key is the most powerful way to unlock a computer with an unknown password. What's your idea? Do you have any comments on these methods? Just share with us below.
Your laptop overheats and turns itself off how do you overcome this problem?
Serious problem. Or maybe not. Most laptops will auto-shutdown if they get too hot, to prevent damage to the CPU chip. So if it's still shutting down, it hasn't lost it's mind -- yet.
First thing, is it sitting on a blanket or pillow? Make sure the bottom of the laptop is not blocked, that there is free-flow of air underneath, and in the direction of the exhaust fan.
Make sure the fan vents are not plugged with dust. This is especially true if the laptop has been exposed to cigarette smoke (kills PCs faster than it does people), very high humidity, lots of dust, etc.
Get a can of compressed air from any electronics department or store. It's the kind made specifically for cleaning electronics. Using the provided plastic tube, blow the compressed air into the fan vents, all side. Do NOT use regular compressed air, there's a good chance you'll inject a squirt of water in there -- laptop innards hate water.
If blowing it out does no good, and if the fan is not moving air, then it's a trip to the guy with small screwdrivers. If your laptop is out of warrenty, there's a good chance the fan is going/has gone. They can be replaced, but be prepared to pay about $30 for the fan, at least, plus about $100 for the service, depending on rates in your area.
Above all, get it fixed! Soon, the CPU will absorb enough heat damage, it will die completely... you'll be looking at a new laptop at that point, or at least a new CPU/motherboard. More money.

How do you fix a Laptop computer screen which has turned purple?
I have not yet been able to diagnose the cause (drivers seem up to date and nothing obvious in the EventLogs) but I found a work around. If your laptop (mines a HP 4540) will display the boot screen but turns purple after login (as mines does), closng the lid and letting the machine go into 'Sleep' and then opening it up seems to work.
Why would a laptop computer be handy?
Laptops are computers that businessmen or students can carry with them. A student can carry his laptop to class, a library, or another student's home or room and type in information. A businessman can use his laptop while he is in his motel room in a distant city, or even in a client's office. If he and a client are working out details on a contract, he can type in proposed changes while a lawyer back in the home office looks over the proposed changes. That way a lawyer does not need to accompany every businessman from the company on every business trip. A lawyer in Dallas can look over a proposal with one businessman in New York in the morning and look over another proposal for another businessman in Los Angeles in the afternoon. One lawyer can look over both contracts. The company saves several hundred thousand a year on lawyers' salaries.

Is it bad for laptop to be always plugged in wall socket can it hurt the battery?
This can reduce the life of the power adapter.
The main problem with leaving the adaptor plugged into a laptop and power is it can shorten the battery life.
This is especially true if your laptop has a Ni Cad battery.
When you require the battery for 1 to 2 hours, it may only give you less than 15 minutes.
While Lithium batteries are less prone to these problems, their life can still be reduced.
If the laptop is going to be plugged in for extended periods of time, remove the battery.
Once a month disconnect the laptop from the power and place the battery back into it.
Run the laptop on the battery until you get a warning low battery beep.
Connect the power back up to the laptop and let it charge overnight.
Remove the battery the next day and leave it out until the next month or until you need to use your laptop without a power connection - whichever comes first.
Follow this procedure and your battery should last 3 to 5 years.
If you do not and leave your laptop connected to the power continuously, your battery will likely last 2 to 3 years at the most.

How do you configure 2 laptops and a desktop with a wireless router?
You don't have wireless network cards you have to buy it or you have to get a lan cable(s). After that connect your router to the modem if you have it. And connect all your computers to the router. Usually default settings allow you to work with internet and inside network without any correction of default settings. After that restart your modem (if you have it) and restart your router. Then Start->Run->cmd, press enter. ping (one of your computer's Ips), for instance, ping 192.168.1.3 If it doesn't work out you have to configure DHCP server for your router, but it's already another question.
Forgot passwor on compaq presario laptop?
What password? If you lost your Windows User Account Password, you may be able to circumvent it entirely by logging into the laptop with an administrator account and resetting your password. If you lost your BIOS settings password, you MAY be able to clear it out by shutting down the laptop, removing the power cords, removing the system batteries (all of them), and removing the CMOS Backup batter for 20 minutes or longer (so as to allow it to lose it's settings), then replace the CMOS battery, system batteries, and power cables. You will have to set the DATE and TIME, as well as device BOOT order, and any other settings specific to your computer. Make sure you look them over first if you can access them before clearing everythng out... If you lost your email or internet login passwords, you can check with the host company to have them reset, or sent to you... Hope that's been some help.
