Wireless devices / antennas are mostly plug and play. So hardware part is easy.\n\nWindows XP will recognise it easily so drivers arent a big problem either.\n\nOnce you see "your hardware is installed and ready to use"; \n\n1. Go to Control Panel > Network Connections > and take it from there\n\n2. Second method: Start > All Programs > Accessroies > Communications > Network Setup Wizard (other options are there too)\n\nJust play around a little and you'll be good to go.\n\nFor how wireless networks work / or antenna go to www.howstuffworks.com\n\nGoogle a little about "home networking" and you'll get cool websites explaining how to setup

Some laptops have a wireless card, which sends and recieves information to and from computers hooked up to the internet. It's like a miniradio that connects the laptop to the internet.

just buy a router and a modem.\n\nconnect the modem to your power source, and then connect the router to the modem. the router transmits wireless signals. therefore, no matter how many computer systems are in a certain region, all of them get to experience LAN connection.\n\nBEST ANSWER? (:

windows xp wireless works in a different way than windows 98. \non your router, have you enabled 'WAP' . if you have then provide the access key in the windows xp wireless settings. \n\nif you have not enabled 'wap', then enable it. Windows xp rarely connects to unsecure wireless connections. \n\nmy best suggestion is to reset your router and start fresh. configure the router from the computer that it is connected to. \n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/maintain/wifisoho.mspx

If you can see that its found the wireless network, you would need to click on connect button on the window which appears telling you the wireless network its found within its range.\nThen depending on how you have configured your wireless router it would ask you to enter Network Key (WEP or WPA).\nOnce you enter this your laptop would be connected to the wireless network and obtain IP address and you would be up and running.\n\nHope this helps

Greetings!\n\nFirst, if your laptop does not have an internal wireless card you must purchase one that goes into your pcmcia slot on the side of the laptop.\nThen when you start the laptop you will see a balloon in the task bar that tells you it has found a wireless network.\nClick on it and it will show you the network or networks. Choose the one with the most strength and then click the profile, and or connect button.\nThen bring up your browser like internet explorer and you will be on.\n\nGood Luck

use the network setup wizard in XP and follow the steps. XP makes it pretty easy and straight forward setting up a wireless network.\n\n\nOn the desktop \n\ngoto start/control panel/network setup wizard. You will need a floppy or a flash drive to transfer the data from the desktop to the notebook when using the wizard.\n\nAlso, right click on you wireless connections icon in "network connection" for both computers. Under the "general" tab make sure "file and printing for Microsoft Networks" is checked on both computers. Click "apply"\n\nOn the laptop\nIn "control panel" click on "printer and faxes" in the left window pane click on "add a printer." Click next, make sure that "A network printer, or a printer attached to another computer" is checked and that the desktop is on, then click "next."  In the "Specify for a Printer" check the "browse for a printer, then click next. double click on "Microsoft windows network," then double click on "workgroup." XP might take awhile to find the printer. After it finds the printer highlight it and click "Next." Follow the directions in the wizard, which will install the driver and setup the printer that is attached to your desktop.

If you are talking about a home network or lan just buy the wireless equipment. In the longrun it will cost less than a wired network and you wont have all that wire running everywhere.
