Step 1 - look for a wireless button on your laptop.  With many Pavilions, it is above the top row of keys on the keyboard.

Step 2 - if the wireless is on, look for the Wireless Network Connection button on your taskbar (it should be on the right hand side, where there are a lot of icons).  Right click the icon (it looks like a computer monitor), and click on "View Available Wireless Networks."  Step 3 - Click "Refresh Network List" from the left-hand column.

Step 4 - Select your wireless network from the list, and click connect.

If none of that works, then you probably have a firewall issue with your antivirus software.  Post another question specifying what type of antivirus software you use, as the fix is different for different programs.
