Solve : Wireless networking?

Answer»

Hello Everyone,
I'm thinking of setting up a wirless network which, of COURSE would include wireless internet. So, if my computer has a Wirless Network setup Wizard program can I assume it has a wireless card ready for a wireless router set up? If not, how can tell if my computer has a wireless internet card setup?
Thanks in advance for your help Is it a laptop? A desktop? If the former, maybe. If the latter, not if you didn't put one in. What computer make/model? We nneed something to work witth. O.k., o.k., I thought details weren't needed for general questions. Anyway, it's a Dell 4700 desktop bought last year. The other computer is a Dell 4100 desktop bought ~ 5years ago.Details are ALWAYS needed!

If it is a desktop and there is nothing sticking out of the back like an antenna, then the answer is no. The Wizard is part of XP itself.

I recall you having one computer with ME and one with XP (correct me if I'm wrong). All you need is a wireless router and a wireless PCI card for each machine, or if one is near the cable/DSL input one could be wired to it with no additional HARDWARE other than a cable.Good MEMORY GX1_Man. I did have a ME but, now that same machine (4100) is now Windows XP. My computers don't have the antenna but, fortunately, I have expansion slots available on both. I thought I needed a wireless PCI card on both? From what you write, I only need one card for the older one since the newer one is connected to the cable. I might just go with the Geek Squad (Best Buy) to set up my network. Thanks for the info. If one can be hooked using a cable then you only need a PCI ADAPTER for the remote one.
