urgent help please...in cabarete at the mo
Hi everyone, I´m posting this in living and in travel, so hopefully someone can help here.
I landed and checked into my booked accomodation, it´s all great, but the one massive thing is I asked several times to make sure they had WIRELESS access and they assured me they did. I don´t have an ethernet port on my laptop.
Guess what, my studio has ...ETHERNET internet access. I need to be online for this trip for various reasons and I´m now looking for alternate accomodation.
I´m way over tired too..moan moan moan. In the short time I¨ve been here, I already know I like it. Good feel to the place. Right from the airport, my cab driver, hotel staff la la la la....anyway, looking forward to lapping it up, just need to get accomodation sorted.
Help, please and thank you.

Unless you have an Apple II E from 1985 it has an "ethernet Port".

Extreme Hotel, Cabarete has Free WIFI!
Try Magnifico or Taina as well for wired access.
Try relaxing for a few days, the internet is not going anywhere.

You are SURE there is no ethernet port? How old is the laptop? Note for the future you can get cheap PC card ethernet cards for that slot in the side. Unless it is so old it hasn't got that either. Wired is better than wireless if both are available.

Yes, I´m sure there is no ethernet port ). It´s a newish vaio, so very slimline etc. I do have a pcmi slot, but no ethernet adaptor. New question...where can i get computer supplies in Cabarete or maybe Sosua, Puerto Plata?

I really doubt that you will find an ethernet card for a newish Sony Vaio in the usual computer stores. There is one computer store between Sosua and Puerto Plata, called Ceducomp and another Ceducomp in Puerto Plata. Perhaps someone has their telephone numbers and you could call and find out. Best is to go where there is a wireless connection.

Thanks Chris,
I was just about to head to Ceducomp in Sosua. I only need a pcmi card, not vaio specific, and adaptor. Wish me luck!!!
