How Do I set up a wireless internet connection on my laptop?

  • Im trying to figure out how to setup my laptop to the internet. I have a wireless 4G internet modem and since my laptop is old I have to use a D-Link Wireless G Notebook adapter card, so if i have a wireless card installed and a wireless modem, how do i set this up? ive never done this before so does any one have step by step instructions on how to do this? help would be greatly appreciated! Oh and my laptop is windows XP, if any one needs to know that

  • Answer:

    Here is a decent writeup from Microsoft. Depending on what brand /model router or modem you have you have to follow instructions from that particular company. Google can be your friend here ;-) http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/setup/wireless.mspx
