How does Internet Connection work at Pop?

[Marple]

Has anyone ever used the internet connection in room at Pop Century?

How does it work?

Am I right in saying you just connect your laptop/PDA via the cable they provide?

What happens next, do you need to have a specific ISP?? Are you given instructions?

Would like to use it so I can do on-line checkin on the way back and I'm not very good with the technical side of computers and the Internet.

Thanks.

Thanks Paulh

Has anyone had experience of using it?

After you have connected the cable, what happens next? How does the dial-up work and do you need to do/know anything in particular to use it? My ISP is tesco.net, and I'm 100% positive they won't have that in the US!!!

I don't know about POP but the hotel we stayed in last year the connection was by a LAN cable and reception gave us the password to use which we keyed in once a screen came up and that was that.

I was able to send and receive email through Tesco too

The net has no boundaries like that, you should easily be able to log into your emails, i could from Japan.

I hope its as straight forward as that. I am NOT good at technical stuff to say the least!

Thanks, all help welcome. What I was meaning was that I was sure that I wouldn't be able to use my Tesco dial up connection whilst over there. Another thing I'm not very good at is getting my point across clearly.

no, definately not!!

You should just be able to plug a laptop in though and still use your original homepage ie AOL, Blueyonder etc or the hotel may have a homepage
