Your desktop can also connect to the wireless network. All you need is a PCI or USB wireless adapter for your computer. PCI adapters install inside your computer (on one of your motherboard's empty pci expansion slots) and the USB adapters plug into one of your computer's empty usb ports. You can get PCI and USB wireless adapters at most electronics retail shops (Circuit City, Radio Shack, etc.) You can also pick them up at Wal-Mart for around $50. Getting one online is alot cheaper though.

Buy either a pci wireless card or a usb which is easier to install.

you should have no trouble hooking to their wifi router. Ask the geek of the family what the WEP/WAP password is. If you dont have a card, Linksys is best, then dlink. I'd get a "G" card, thats probably what they have, but you can ask them.
