you need to buy a USB wireless adaptor and after you install it, it should just see your wireless router and you can get connected (assuming your computer has an available usb port)

You'll need a wireless router 802.11g (54MBps) type. The other thing that you may need, since you didn't say if the newer computer was a laptop or desktop, is a wireless b/g adapter. If it's a desktop you'll get a PCI wireless b/g adapter. With those you have to load the software first then you'll have to remove the cover of your computer and remove a tin knockout on the back of the case (after you unplug it from the wall outlet) and install the wireless PCI adapter card in an empty PCI slot on the motherboard. If it's a laptop, it more than likely has built in wireless which is turned on by a switch on the outside edge of the case. If your laptop doesn't have built in wireless you'll need a PCMIA wireless b/g adapter card.
