Question

Answer 1

make sure the wireless is turned on in your router first. you have to enter your routers login and go to wireless settings and activate wireless. this all depends on your router brand so if you update your question i will help you.

then make sure your laptops wifi switch is turned on if you have one (not all laptops have a switch).

then in the bottom right corner of your task bar (in the startup pane) you will see a computer with little waves on it (im taking your using xp, if its vista its a differant icon). right click that icon and select view available networks.

look for your wireless connection which if not named will be by default the name of your router. select it, enter a password (by god set a password while your turning on your wireless) and you should be good to go. update if you have any problems.
