OK you have 1 desktop and two laptops. one laptop not wireless and one you want to make wireless.  If your daughters laptop was able to use your wireless network that means it is set up all you need to do now is for the new laptop is setup the wireless on that.  Go back to this link and go to the section on how to setup the wireless adapter, which is the wireless in the laptop. Click on the proper OS and follow the steps.  What you will basicly be doing is setting the adapter to find your network name which is called an SSID and if you are using security the type and passphrase/key.
Be gentle please haven't got much experience with wireless. Here goes i got a dell inspiron 3 days ago for my 15yr old daughter. I set it up OK but still haven't been able to log on. I use a belkin g router for my laptop and it wired through my desktop. Before i got the dell she just just came up to my house and used my wireless connection to access the net her other laptop was an Acer.(she doesn't no Ive got her a new one) The strenth is strong but still cant log on. I hope that makes some kind of sense to someone? Any answers could you make them in layman's terms :¬) Thanks in advance.
