You could start by telling us which model computer you have. Did you order a wireless network adapter with your computer? Also, look in Device Manager and expand the listing for Network adapters and see if their is a wireless network adapter listed there.
I have just purchased a Inspiron 2200 notebook, with a integrated network card, and a dell 1370 internal wireless networking card.(802.11 b/g 54 Mbps) my question is ...do I still need a router?
When viewinig the list of messages (not a single message) simply click on "New Message" in the upper left part of the forum Window. It can't be that hard.
Please start new thread instead of replying to an existing thread. In that new thread, please state what kind of internet connection you have in your home. I will only respond if you start a new thread - Do not reply to this message.
This all depends on what you are trying to do? Do you want to share an cable or dsl internet connection? Do you want to connect to the internet in your home or connect to other computers in you home using a wireless connection?
Please start a new thread to provide answers to these questions. It gets awfully confusing to help with more than one person's problems in the same thread.

It does seem rather rude to point out how easy it is to use the forum features to a first timer who had stated twice they were new to this. Generous use of the edit feature in the first reply could have given the poster all information he needed to re-post a new thread. Or, the original quote of "I will not respond in this thread" could have been used. The result would have been the same.
With over 24,000 posts it's probably hard to remember when all this was new to theirselves.

Nope, you don't have any wireless cards in either of those laptops.

Hi
Sorry about the new thread, I am very new at this.
I want to connect to the internet in my home using the wireless connection.
