general wireless question

I just ordered a dell notebook online and am awaiting its arival. It had intelpro wireless installed. I have never used a laptop or anything wireless for that matter. I do have a wireless router that came with my dsl that I use for my desktop. My question is....when I get my laptop will it automatically pick up signal from my router or is there something I am gonna have to do to make it work. I just wasnt sure if I have to have someone from my DSL company come out to set it up for me. If anyone can help I would appreciate it thanks.

    Without knowing exactly which router you have, and how your dsl provider set it up it is very difficult to know the answer to your question from this end of the internet.  Normally routers come with easy to follow instructions on how to set up the wireless network.

    ok thanks steve, I will just give verizon a call when I get it, hopefully they can assist me over the phone or if anything come out and set it up for me. I don't have the instructions for the router anymore cuz I got it about a year ago when I first installed my DSL service. I didn't know if it was just as easy as takin it outta the box and gettin right on the net or what.
