Well there's definitely no wires in the pic, so it must be wireless !
Firstly, is your modem and/or router wireless capable ? If so make sure you know your wireless settings ie. the SSID name, the channel number it operates on, and the WEP key if applicable.
Next you have to make sure the settings on your laptop correspond with the settings on your router/modem. If the machine is running Windows XP SP2 you're better off leaving Windows to sort it all out. Click 'start' click 'control panel' then click 'wireless network setup wizard'.

i think i may have now found a guide on how to enable the wifi
the detector doesn't seem to pick anything up even when it's directly beside a wifi router
i think it will be the fact that it is disabled to save power
