have a wireless in my laptop do I have to set up account with a company for it to work?I?

Yes. You must have to set up an wireless account with a company in order to use it.\n\nIt depends... if your dial up company has a wireless net, it could be possible. You have to ask your company.

The wireless card in your laptop needs software from it's manufacturer to connect. What Windows is telling you is that the built in zero configuration wireless utility in Windows XP doesn't work with the card you are using. Get another card, or download the right software for the card you have from the manufacturer's website.

It depends a lot, but here's the basic requirements and some information to get you going in the right direction. You'll need:\n\n1) a wireless router that is already set up and functioning\n2) physically insert / install the wireless card\n3) either a driver will load automatically for it, or (better option) if you have the drives on floppy / CD etc. install those drivers\n4) if the wireless router is "open" i.e. does not use encryption and the ssid (wireless network unique identifier for your network) has "broadcast" enabled, you should be able to get onto it immediately, though you might have to select the network if more than one is detected\n5) if "broadcast" is disabled, you'll need to manually enter the SSID in your sisters laptop once you have the wireless icon in the system tray in the lower right hand corner. Disabling broadcast "hides" the SSID so you just have to know it and tell the computer what it is the first time. (If you don't know any of this at all, you'll need to call a friend. Full details are out of scope for this response and forum.)\n6) if WEP (Wireless Encryption Protocol) security is enabled, you'll need to enter the WEP key you generated upon setup of the router, and select the right channel. Follow similar procedure if WPA was used, you'll need to consult your documentation for that since I'm not as familiar with it.\n\nOnce the ssid is set up and WEP key entered (if required), you should be able to get onto the wireless network. It might be a good idea to reboot your PC after you set it up the first time.\n\nBe patient and persistent, and don't be afraid to read the documentation. The instructions I have seen for my Linksys wireless router for example were pretty good and clear.\n\nGood luck!

U said "is aready set up for wireless on lap top for work". It means ur laptop can connect to the wireless network in ur office. But u must first configure a wireless connection in ur house to connect. Netgear router comes with a list of Toll Free phone nos. for technical assistance. Alternatively, u can visit www.netgear.com and find the no. for ur country. If u r technically savvy, then u can enter into ur router's set up by doing the following:\n\n1. Open Internet explorer\n\n2. Type 192.168.1.1 in address bar\n\n3. A window will pop up for username & password. Default username is "admin" & default password is "password". Click OK.\n\n4. U will see the "Basic Settings" page. On the top left hand side, u can see "Wireless settings" just below "Basic Settings". Click on "Wireless settings".\n\n5. U can setup a wireless connection on this page. DO NOT forget to make it a SECURED wireless connection using either WEP or WPA-PSK key. U can create ur own key. This is a must to avoid any misuse by other internet users. It will keep others unable to connect to your home network (unless they have the password/network key).\n\nI strongly suggest you to call the technical support to determine the region and setup the wireless connection within no time. Technical support nos. are usually Toll-Free (depending on ur country). U can check it on www.netgear.com\nI am very happy with their assistance and netgear router works absolutely perfect 24*7. \n\nU can ask their assistance incase ur facing any other difficulties too. \n\nAll the best!!

you firstly need a wireless card and router. most new laptops come pre-installed with a wireless card. so all you should have to do is buy a router. any electronics store and even wal-mart carry a large variety of routers. I personally use a microsoft router and have used it for quite some time and it have worked perfectly.

Enable the wireless card to accept connections.\n\nThat should be it. Also you have to have SP2 for Windows\nIt sorts out any wireless problems

Well, you should be able to get into your router's setup from one of your PCs (methods for this vary, consult the router's  manual) and disable *just* the wireless network. Anyone physically plugged into the router would still be able to get online, so if the laptop is the only thing connecting wirelessly, that would work.

Well if the messeges are popping up, then it is of course enabled, otherwise nothing would pop up. If you want to use your laptop at free wifi spots, just make sure you have a strong enough signal to connect. If you want to use your laptop at HOME, then you will need a wireless router (which you can get for under $20 after rebate at newegg.com) at your home you will also need a DSL or Cable modem hooked up via a network cable.\nIf you want your laptop to work ANYWHERE in your area, then you would need to get a Verizon PC Card and service. YOu would have to be in the service area and it is $79 a month.

You'll need a wireless router, and wireless capability in every device that you want to connect to it. If you have a computer that doesn't have wireless capability, you can buy a card to add that capability.\n\nOnce you have the equipment, you should follow the instructions that come with the equipment. If you aren't technically inclined, you can get someone to do it for you, like Best Buy's Geek Squad.

Get a wireless PC card and put it into your PC slot...you can get either b or g for your laptop.\n\nIt looks like this:\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000056SSM/002-2707582-1676853?v=glance&n=172282\n\nIf you already have WIFI on your laptop then you dont need this card, but if you dont, then you need to force your laptop to be wireless by getting the card above.\n\nIts pretty cheap. You can also get it on ebay for cheaper. Once you slide it in, you can automatically connect.

I have done tech support for some good-sized companies, and you'd be surprised how many people fail to turn on the wireless antenna in their laptops!  SOMEWHERE on that machine you'll find a switch; if you don't already know where it is, look up the machine's spec's online.  As to finding locations - try http://www.wi-fihotspotlist.com/

Hi there, \nI work as an IT analyst for BT's wireless internet access so hopefully I can help.\ntoo make your lap wireless enabled all you need to have is a wireless card , if this is a new laptop it will probably have one installed all ready---If your using it at home you will need to buy a wireless router, widely avaiable from about £20, quite simple to set up and then you can surf the net any where in the house.
