Accessing networks

I have use of a laptop at work. At work the laptop has a connection to the work network, internet etc.

At home I have a PC which accesses the internet via AOL. Is there any way of accessing the internet with my laptop when I take it home?

Will I have to install AOL on the laptop (I don't want to)

first you don't need to install AOL.

the important part is How does your home computer connect to the internet?

It connects with an ordinary domestic BT line and broadband modem connection.

Is that of any use?

You have a few options.

1) Turn off modem, plug modem into laptop (instead of computer), and then turn everything on. Should work fine.

2) Buy a wireless modem+router, to let you use both PC and laptop on same internet (AOL) at once.
