does it have a pcmcia slot? if so, go to walmart and pick up a Linksys ethernet card for $30 US.

might be under the name "Networking for Everyone" or something like that, but it's still Linksys.

just make sure it's old pcmcia, and not new cardbus.

look for the gold contact at the plug end. if it has that, its a cardbus.
