What kind of wireless network are you trying to connect to? Do you have a wireless router connected to a broadband modem or are you trying to connect to a hotspot or a neigbor's unsecured wireless network?

Hey thanks for responding Steve.. He has wireless router connected to a broadband modem. I do know that much. It says he has no dial tone when he tries to go online.  I don't know . Sl

Broadband internet connections and wireless connections don't get a dial tone, so that is expected.  You will have to provide more information about how the network is setup and exactly what happens when an attempt is made to get a wireless connection.    Steve

Have him right-click on the IE icon on his desktop and choose the Connections tab.  Then choose the option to never dial a connection.  See if that gets it looking to the wireless card.
