You need a USB wireless dongle.

Well buying it is one thing, setting it up is another.

Pop back if you run into problems.

I would strongly advise DON'T GET A USB ADAPTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They are easier to snap off, have to be plugged into the same USB port or XP sees it as 'new hardware', quite often don't offer as good connectivity.

I would strongly recommend a PCI Wireless card - check out the Linksys WPG54G. About 15 quid and well worth it in my opinion. Not had a problem with mine yet!

i ended up with ordering one of these: netgear rangemax wpn311 pci adaptor, will that do

good, because I'm having problems with the one i put in my daughters computer. When I get time to work on it again I'll post a thread and you and serverguy can walk me through it.

That should do the job nicely.
