Answer 1

are you using a wire or a card or a built-n recievier?

You have to be a lil specific in the question in order to generate the right answer.

Answer 2

Firstly, ensure that the new laptop has a wireless receiver.  Using the Wireless utility that you have, scan for new networks, you'll be given a listing of what's in your area.  Pick one and click on connect.

If you have no wireless hardware (in laptop) - you won't be able to do any of the above.

Answer 3

Sounds like you need to buy a wireless computer card .I use a Belkin one .

I think you might need to go on to the manufactures website and download the wireless driver or something like that. I had to do the same thing on my laptop.

Answer 5

I only have a laptop which is wireless but when I connected to my Internet provider I had to first connect the laptop with the Ethernet wires in then run the disc again to do it wireless.  I hope this helps I not very good at the technical things .
