First you have to have a wireless networking card. Then, only if you have XP or Mac OS X, you can detect a network and connect. I only know about XP but if you have it, a little speech bubble will appear over the icons on the right side of your taskbar (the thing with the start button on it) that says it has detected a network. Then, click on it and if it's a public network it'll just open up but if it's password protected, you'll need to enter the login and password.
I'd assume it's the same for OS X but you'd have to check.

First ( and mind you, I'm not implying your stupid ) check you have a wireless card or wireless built into your laptop. Second make sure the hardware is turned on (Enabled) by going to control panel - network connections - and look at your wireless icon. It should say its enabled, if not, right click - enable. An icon should appear on the taskbar, you should click on it and a window shows up with a list of wireless connections. If no connection shows up:
1. There is not a wireless connection around
2. Your wireless router is not submitting itself to show up on your list
NOTE: there could be more problems than this but this is an overview.

Your notebook needs to have a wireless card or wireless adapter, if it does you just need to set up your connection.

If you have a wireless card you shoul be able to detect wireless networks that are in range.
