Q. my desk top is connected with a dsl service i recently bought a notebook and to this date i can not figure out how to plug it to my dsl, im alone and not very good in computers: any help. thanks.
A. I believe you are saying:
You have a desktop computer and a laptop computer. You have a DSL gateway or "modem" that is connected to your desktop and that is working just fine. You want a way to connect your laptop to the Internet at the same time as the desktop system.
Make sure you print this out before you start the process. There are stages in this process where you will not be connected to the Internet.
The typical way to have more than one device share a DSL connection to the Internet is a wireless router, these days.
Often laptops come equipped with wireless adapters. If your laptop did not come with a wireless adapter built in, you may have to buy one.
You connect the wireless router to the DSL gateway using the cable that is currently connected to your desktop. Then you take a CAT5, CAT5e, or CAT6 patch cable and connect it from a numbered port of your wireless router to the jack you took the old cable out of on your desktop computer. Your wireless router typically will come with one of these cables.
Once you have that done the wires part is over. You disconnect the power to your DSL gateway for 10-15 seconds. You ensure the wireless router stays powered on, and connected to your desktop during this 10-15 seconds.
Next you plug the DSL gateway back in and the wireless router should synchronize with the DSL gateway. That can take a minute or two while the DSL gateway performs it's diagnostic routine and issues your wireless router an IP address.
Once the lights are "green" on the DSL gateway and the wireless router, turn on your laptop, enable the wireless adapter built in to the laptop and check to see if the laptop is connected to the Internet.
Next verify that the Desk top system can also get to the Internet.
Hardware you will definitely need:
1 wireless router - I suggest the D-Link DIR-655. Cost $130 or so.
Hardware you may need for your laptop:
1 wireless adapter (USB type) - I suggest the D-Link DWA 140, Cost $70 or 80 dollars.
Next phase:
Once both your laptop and desktop are able to get to the Internet at the same time, SECURE that wireless router. This will prevent people from using your connection to the Internet from the street. It will also prevent people from snooping around your network or getting to the files on your computers.
You will have to consult the manual that comes with the wireless router on the exact procedure for each of the following steps, it's time well invested.
1) Change the SSID of the router.
2) Change the admin pass phrase of your router.
3) Disable the broadcast of the SSID of your router.
4) Enable MAC address filtering.
5) Limit DHCP on the wireless router to 2 IP addresses. You have a laptop and a desktop, you only need 2 IP addresses for those two devices. Use the range 192.168.xxx.5 - 192.168.xxx.6 for example.
6) Enable WPA2. If your laptop's built in wireless adapter will not allow WPA2 then use WPA. WEP is worse than useless. It gives people a false sense of security.
7) Disable remote administration of the wireless router.
I use a P-Touch labeler to create a label that has the SSID, the WPA2 Pass phrase, AND the admin pass phrase of the wireless router. I attach that to the wireless router someplace where it will not cover a vent hole or a connection. DIR-655 has a nice open spot on the bottom that is good for this.
Your wireless router documentation should help. The software that comes with the wireless router may be helpful also. If you have trouble getting this all accomplished, contact the wireless router's support or contact a wireless network specialist via local.yahoo.com for assistance with all or part of the process.
I typically charge $125 to do all of the above in one visit for up to 3 wireless and 1 wired devices for home users. Corporate rates are higher.

How to treat tingling and numbness in foot due to Sciatica.?
Q.
A. you can try phDiagnosis and Treatment
Because of the many conditions that can compress nerve roots and cause sciatica, treatment options often differ from patient to patient. Treatment of the underlying cause of the compression is often the most effective course. When the cause is due to a prolapsed or lumbar disc herniation research has shown that with supportive treatment to help relieve pain 90% of disc prolapse will recover with no specific intervention. Genetics appear to influence the risk of developing disc herniation.
Imaging methods such as MRI neurography may help diagnosis and treatment of sciatica. MR neurography is a modified MRI technique using MRI software to provide better pictures of the spinal nerves and the effect of compression on these nerves. MR neurography may help diagnose piriformis syndrome which is another cause of sciatica that does not involve disc herniation. MR neurography is considered experimental and is not covered by insurances.
Most cases of sciatica can be effectively treated by physical therapy or massage therapy and appropriate changes in behavior and environment (for example cushioning, chair and desk height, exercise, stretching). Other conservative treatment options include anti-inflammatory medications (i.e. NSAIDs or oral steroids), pain medications, and epidural steroid injections (however the latter carries the risk of possible side effects and complications from the needle puncture and medications used).
"Alternative" and "complementary" treatments include chiropractic manipulation (although there is no scientific consensus for chiropractic's effectiveness) and somatics. Acupuncture has no effect beyond placebo in treating sciatica.
