Purchase a Wireless USB adapter. Plugs into your desktops USB port and install the software.

Go ahead and pick up a wireless USB adapter. You can get them at WalMart, Target, Office Depot, or about anywhere else. You just plug the adapter into the USB port on your computer. Any software you need to install will come on a CD with the adapter. The wireless adapter will automatically search and find any wireless networks, and give you the option to connect to one.
Be sure to ask if you will need a "Network Key" to access the wireless internet.
It will take you about 15 minutes to set it up. Hope this helps!

you need a wireless card :D, i use a dlink ($40) and it seems to work great :D, if you decide to go with a cheap card it might not work that great and it would probly be on and off
