Start ----> My Network Places

there should be a wireless icon thing there that says "disabled", click on it to make it enabled... find your wireless and connect by entering the password...

if you don't have the wireless icon, then click on wireless wizard setup to create a new one
Simple enable the wireless controller usually located under the laptop a small switch and on the key board i think you press F6 to enable wireless
do you know if the pc found the router? is the router compatable with wifi? if the pc is finding the router, try changing the router settings!
Make sure your wireless network connection is enabled. If it is, you should be able to right click on it and 'View Available Wireless Connections', find your network and click connect.
like he said START>CONTROL PANEL>NETWORK CONNECTIONS>SET UP A WIRELESS NETWORK FOR A HOME OR SMALL OFFICE. Then you need to add an SSID (this will appear as the name of your hotspot). Create a network key(this is your password to log into your hotspot if you dont have automatic log in on). Then put the CD that the wi-fi box came with into the computer and follow the directions. Make sure that you have the same IP address linked from your computer to your wireless box. If you still need help than you can buy a book called Wi-Fi Home Networking For Dummies, Just the Steps. Go to amazon.com or a book store to buy it, it is relatively cheap and has great info, this is what I used to get my Wi-Fi working for my laptop.
