use a big magnet. First put it next to the router and then put it next to the laptop. Problem solved.

Start --> control panel --> Wireless setup wizard

should be the easiest way for you to do it

Thats assuming that your on XP

You're jumping the gun do0d. You're assuming that he has a wireless router somewhere.....

i get the info to type it but idk where to type the stuff or where to go from there

sounds like he has one already, where else did he get the info?

the magnetic field is large enough to do just about anything.

My translator pulled a different meaning from that post.
I need to upgrade... Yours is superior.

So if that is what his post was intended to say, I'd tell him to just double click the wireless connection icon in the systray.

yeah but wizards are usually more user friendly in the since that they usually lead to the troubleshooting wizard. I personally hate them and would rather put the information myself by right clicking on the connection and going to the properties and then double clicking on the ip protocol and configuring threw there but for simplicity i just advise he uses the wizard.
