Question: I just got a dell loptop and i need to get internet service, i already have a rooter what is the next step? 

Answer: congratulations on your laptop.  Having your own laptop is fun.  Finding internet access is easy:  a good source is looking in the yellow pages (if you are in the USA) for internet provider listings.  A lot are advertised on the TV and have 800 numbers to call, some are offered by the phone company such as AT&T ; AOL; Earthlink, Netzero, Yahoo, Peoplepc, etc.   You will need a basic server:  most come preloaded on the laptop--mind did and it is Microsoft Internet Explorer.   You need a server to get on the internet and then one of the on-line providers listed above.  I am not sure of what you would do if you are from a country other than the USa, BUT Dell could let you know what is available where you are.   Best wishes
