i have wireless Internet and i installed them myself, so trust me on this. if you have a usb flash drive. go to my network places if you xp if you have vista go to network and sharing center. on xp click create a new network. set it up manually. it will basically give you instructions. if using vista go to manage net settings and add a wireless network or devices this will also give you instructions. be sure to have your wireless device installed on your laptop before this operation. good luck! if not successful please email me rsouverain@yahoo.com

I assume you already have a wireless router. Your 2nd laptop needs to have a a wireless card. There should be software on the computer related to the wireless card that you can use to find your wireless access point (the router). If there is a password needed, enter it in the profile you setup for the connection.

The same way you made your first laptop wireless. They sell mulitiple comp wireless stuff. A word to the wise, my wife lost $80,000 online to a hacker when she was doing the wireless thing. Might want to take the time to plug into your phone line whenever doing any kind of sensitive online banking or other stuff. It's not very pleasant losing a 25 year nest eggs in a few seconds to some "loser" thief.

Do you have a wireless router? If you do you would simply setup the 2nd laptop the same as you did the first one. If not get a wireless router and follow the simple setup directions.

Buy a new wireless card and set it up just like the first one.
