Hi there

I take it the ADSL Router is Wireless? If not, it should be.

Also make sure that your laptop has wireless installed. Make sure by checking your laptop's manufacturers website. Ex, ACER/HP/Compaq/Lenovo/SONY/Packard Bell...

The chances that your PC has a wireless card installed is almost none.

So, the easiest way to get wireless for both is to get a Wireless Dongle. It's a device that looks almost like a USB Flash Drive. This device will give your PC and laptop wireless.

To setup the PC and laptop to the ADSL Wireless router is very simple...

XP - Control Panel -> Network Connections
Vista - Start -> Connect To (Refresh the list and Select the ADSL Router)

It's that simple...

Please let me know of this helped.

Cheers
Grant
