Default Laptop Battery Question

Hello friends. I have a question about recharging my laptop. I am running on very critical low battery now, but am plugged in. (new battery is ordered) However, my monitor is barely lit.

I was told by one Dell tech to use my laptop on battery until it tells me it is low, then plug it in to recharge. Another PC tech told me to leave my laptop plugged in and just run the battery down to recharge every once in a while. My DS has the same laptop as me, his is even a yr older and he is still on his first battery and uses it for business/home. My Dell laptop is an Inspiron 6000, bought in 2005 and I just went through my 2nd battery.

Also, all of a sudden I see that my wireless network says it is unsecured. What's w/that? Do I need to find a new network?? Help?

Clueless in Toad Hollow.
