Hi, in addition to the other answers it may depend on your friends router why you cannot connect wirelessly. I presume you can connect ok if you are wired to the router. On my netgear router I can disable the wireless so nothing can connect wirelessly. Also I have to include my wireless laptop in the allow list on the router. Hope this helps

check out your settings for internet explorer (tools/internet options/connections) make sure that it is set up for never dial a connection - if it isn't select it and try again
hope it helps

It may sound silly but have you set up your laptop for wireless networking? ( use network wizard in win xp )
