Your computer either needs a built-in wireless\ncapability (which is becoming universal on new\nlaptops) or you need a plug-in wireless card\n(which are $40 on a bad day, $10 with a good sale).\n\nYou also need to have the required drivers installed\nfor which ever OS you're running (ie. Windows).

Buy a cheap wireless router, you should be able to get one for around $40 or less.  They all come with a CD and instructions.  Usually the first thing you do is put in the CD, and follow along.  It will tell you how to hook up your computers and your internet depending on what kind of connection you have.  Also you need to buy wireless network adapters.  Do not purchase the internal ones, if you want the process to be easy.  They sell usb wireless NIC's for a little more money, but they also include detailed instructions for setting them up.

If you already have DSL or cable internet, it's pretty easy.\n\nBuy a wireless router/switch which will plug into your\nDSL or cable modem.  It will have a configuration disk\nwhich will lead you through a few questions on setting\nit up.\n\nYou should follow the instructions and set up a "WAP"\n(password) so that clever teenagers with too much time\non their hands don't park out on your curb and \npiggyback on your wireless to do mischief on the\ninternet (which would lead back to you).\n\nMostly, you just follow the directions from the\nsoftware.

There are a few ways to go wireless:\n\n1. You can use the suggestions others have had and sign up for a standard cable modem or DSL service. Many providers will give you a modem that has wireless support. That's a great solution. \n\n2. If your cable modem / DSL service doesn't include a wireless, you can buy a wireless router for about $50 at any office supply / big box store. They come with instructions and installation discs, so just about anyone who can use a computer can get connected. You just connect the wireless router to your cable / DSL modem, follow the instructions, and you're wireless.\n\n3. The big cellular companies all offer wireless Internet connections on their networks. For something like $60 a month, you can use your connection anyplace they have cell phone service. This is especially great if you travel a lot, and need a reliable connection no matter where you go.\n\n4. Most coffee shops, hotels/ motels and many highway service areas offer free and open wireless Internet. That's not reliable, per se, but it is easy to find.\n\nAll that said, your wireless laptop should tell you about every wireless network it can find when it first starts up, and ask you if you want to connect to it. Just say yes and the PC should take care of the rest.

wireless like psp or a pda? did you set the software in your pc for being a host pc ?here some help.\nUnderstanding the Basics \n\nIf you're thinking about building a wireless network for your home or office, it pays to do a little planning to ensuree you implement it as securely as possible. Remember how you listened to your next-door neighbor's conversation with her mother-in-law about what happened at last year's 4th of July party on your baby monitor? Like all radio frequencies, anyone with a receiver can tune into a wireless channel, so you need to take extra precautions to prevent to your big-eared neighbor and cybercriminals from listening in. \n\nThe primary reason for building a wireless LAN (WLAN) is for increased mobility — so you can move around from room to room without being tethered to a network jack. Another reason people like wireless LANs is because they can network their computers together without having to snake wires through their walls. Since you don't have to deal with the wires, in some regards building a wireless LAN is actually easier than you might think. \n\nHave questions about wireless? Start a thread in the new Intranet Journal Discussion Forum \n\n\nThere are all different kinds of wireless protocols used for different types of wireless networks, but if you want to build a WLAN for your home or office the type of protocol you'll want to use is called 802.11b. When you build a wireless network, you are basically setting up a transmitter called an access point that has an antenna on one side and a wire on the other. The wire plugs into a typical wired connection — an Ethernet, a DSL line, cable connection, or dial-up modem. The antenna talks to the wireless network interface card on your computer, sending network traffic from your laptop to an access point. If it sounds confusing, think of your cordless phone. On one end your cordless phone plugs into a wire, while at the same time the antenna on the hand-held receiver transmits to the base station where the wire is plugged in. \n\nSet Up Your Access Point \n\nOne of the first things you'll need to do is setup a wireless access point (AP). If you're setting up your wireless network for a business, you'll want to use a more fully featured high-end AP like a Cisco Aironet 350 Series access point. If you're setting up an access point for a home network, a low-end access point such as a Linksys WAP 11 or an Apple AirPort will suffice. Any access point worth its salt has a TCP/IP interface whether you are setting it up for your home or office, which is something to keep in mind when making your purchasing decisions. \n\nWhen setting up your access point, you'll want to first connect it to the wired hub, then configure the wireless interface, then the wired interface, and last but not least, configure the security. Configuration of the various network interfaces and access point features is different for every vendor. However, if you can read and follow directions, it's possible to do the installation yourself, even if you don't have prior experience. Just open the access point installation and configuration guide and follow along. If you run into snags call the vendor support line list in your access point manual and ask for help. The types of things you'll need to setup include the radio frequency, the distance between access points, and the access point IP address. \n\nSome of the features you can expect to find in either home or enterprise class access points are listed in this table: \n\nFeature Small Office/Home Office Large Office \nIEEE 802.11b compliance   \nDHCP Server   \nNetwork Address Translation   \nIPSec Pass Through   \nIAPP \n  \nSite Management Tools \n  \nWEP (Security)   \nTKIP (Security) \n  \n\n\nYou can also use what is known as a wireless station instead of an access point. However, wireless stations may take a bit more work to setup, and I won't be talking about them f

First, you need to get a wireless adapter/card for your PC. It's likely you already have one if it's a laptop.\n\nSecondly, you need a wireless router (I have a netgear that works quite well).\n\nFinally, enable WEP security on your router. The instructions to do this are in the manual. If you have these things and need live help, I'll be happy to walk you through it.

Simply attaching a wireless adapter to the computer will not suffice.  Somewhere near you, in your home, in your office, in an internet cafe or restaurant or libary, must be a wireless access point connected to the internet for you laptop wireless to communicate with.  If you don't have one of these, then you must buy one and connect it to the internet.\n\nSee your wireless owner's manual for information on how to configure this.

You need a Broadband Router. It will hook up with wires to one desktop and wirelessly with your laptop and other desktop. Your wireless desktop will need a PCI card adaptor and your laptop should already have one. You may need to configure your router, however. When you hook it up type in 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 (thanks, madman)in your browser's address bar to set it up. \nThe best router is:\nLinksys Wireless-G Broadband Router\nModel #:WRT54G\nThe best PCI card is:\nLinksys Wireless-G PCI Card with Speed Booster\nModel #: WMP54GS\nYou can buy these at:\n\nhttp://www.BestBuy.com    \nhttp://www.CircuitCity.com    \nhttp://www.CompUSA.com  \nhttp://www.OfficeMax.com    \nhttp://www.RadioShack.com    \nhttp://www.Staples.com  \nhttp://www.officedepot.com  \n\nThe router is about $89.99 and the PCI card is about $59.99.

You can set up a wireless network with ANY internet connection.\n\nHowever, the cost of a few metres of phone extension cable is easily cheaper than the cost of a router and wireless adaptor.
