Huey Posted April 8, 2004 #1 Share Posted April 8, 2004 We're going on the Legend next Monday - My husband would like to use his laptop to check his email at work. He has to use his computer, as he cannot access his email from an unsecure computer. He cannot install wireless software on his computer due to security issues at work. Can you just plug your laptop in at the internet cafe? Or do you need a wireless card?

kgymn Posted April 8, 2004 #2 Share Posted April 8, 2004 I believe you need a wireless card, however they do rent those out so you wouldn't have to purchase one just for the trip. ~Katy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroupCruiser Posted April 8, 2004 #3 Share Posted April 8, 2004 I thought you had to use the computers on the ship. I've never noticed any wireless AP's anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huey Posted April 8, 2004 Author #4 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Thats the problem, we can't use a wireless card. It has to be a direct connection. Anyone do this?

tef43 Posted April 8, 2004 #5 Share Posted April 8, 2004 There are no open ports in the internet cafe area. All the machines are hard-wired internet terminals, not even "computers' as we know them.

brian5 Posted April 8, 2004 #6 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Because your question is beyone the scope of the experiences of most of the members here, I'd recommend calling carnival directly. Don't rule out shore access, even if it simply means going to a local hotel and talking the manager into letting you use his office ethernet cable.
