the laptop has wireless built in,what you need is an access point or wireless router to connect to

i take it you have broadband

how do you recieve your broadband into your pc,,,what is the make of equiptment...it needs to be wireless.if not at least a router,so you can use an ethernet cable

thank you for your reply, started all over again, didnt bother using the thing to make ours wireless, just used the belkin router and we are both able to go online [HURRAY} not sure how i secure the network though? michele

if you are not using wireless then either disable it or setup encryption do not leave it open,,,this will be in the manual. if you are indeed running it through ethernet cables then it will be secure, but check your settings, like blocking ping, and other attacks....usually on by default though
