Answer 1

there should be a wifi switch under front of lap top. are u using a wired connection for yer internet or have u got a wireless modem?

Answer 2

do u have wireless internet? do u have a router? go to connect to and then see if u have anything in there.

Answer 3

you will need a wirelless access point, this distributes the wifi signal, and therefor the internet, you can pick them up for around 30 for a cheap one

Answer 4

You will need to give us some more information.

The other computer which has internet, how does it connect?  Do you have dial-up, or DSL, cable, FiOS?

Wireless only works with broadband internet, so that is step one.

If you have broadband, you will need a wireless router.  If you other computer is plugged right into the modem, you don't have a router.

The wireless router should come with detailed instructions on how to set it up.

If you do have wireless but the new notebook isn't seeing it, go to start>control panel>network connections.  See if you have an icon for "wireless network" and right click and make sure it's enabled.  That's about all I can tell you without more info.  Good luck!
