Guys...did anyone even READ his question?
You do not have a wireless adapter on your desktop.
You need a Wireless adapter card to connect to your wireless router. Your notebook as one built in (most likely). Desktops don't come with this standardly.
You can pick one up at Walmart. There are USB and PCI version...the USB is easiest to setup. You don't have to open your computer case, and they work just fine.

You need a cable to run the fast ethernet card that you have in your desktop.
You can purchase a PCI card to make your desktop connect to a wireless network.

For a wireless connection you need a wireless card, not a wired one. You need to buy one for a desktop.

The header says that the desktop wont connect and the last line says the labtop wont connect. Which is it?

First, if you have the modem plugged in correctly, you should see an icon that comes up on the bottom blue bar on the bottom of the screen. Click on the icon and select the modem number if you did it correctly, you will have perfect perception!!!!!

I googled the adapter you suggested, and that's an eithernet plug adapter. in case you have a on the spot geared up into your computer, it may't be recognizing it. attempt checking to make certain in case you have the different adapters and make confident they're plugged in properly. if so, circulate to the manufactures web site and get carry of the latest drivers for it and deploy them. -- in case you attempt to get on on the spot with a private laptop, you nonetheless opt for a on the spot community adapter. computer ones won't artwork with computers. you are going to be able to desire to get the two a USB one or one form of like the eithernet adapter you suggested. you additionally can merely seek google to your computer type observed by "on the spot community adapters" good luck!
