I have recently purchased a laptop for school and I purchased the wireless hookup. I have no idea how to get this setup. I have went through things on my laptop and I cannot figure out how to get this setup. Can u walk me through his or tell me what I need to do?

There are several steps involved, but be assured that it can be done!
Here (http://www.smartcomputing.com/Editorial/article.asp?article=articles/2004/w1510/36w02/36w02.asp&guid=) is an example article describing the procedure.

The basic layout of components is this:
Cable or Wireless Your
DSL ----------> Router -----------> Computer
Modem

Good Luck,

Did you talk to the network admins at school? You may need to supply some security access to get connected. They are the best ones to walk you through it.

This is a good point. My sister had to do this for her laptop.
