so i recently had to reboot my windows xp laptop
and i have been trying VERY hard to set up the internet
my brothers computer has a modem and is connected and everything, and the wireless connction is turned on.
I just dont know how to get my laptop to be able to recieve the connection.
do you know what i mean, or am i mentally retarded?
so any advice on how to do that would be GREAT

Hi alexa, first of all welcome to Dani web.

Is this the first time you have tried to connect to the router?

Do you have an adaptor for the laptop to connect to the router?

What occured that you had to reboot?
