Are you talking about the Compaq Presario 3000 notebook ??

If so it has wireless built in

If it's a "PC" then you will usually need a wireless dongle............

You'd be unlucky to find one that doesn't, IMHO

Mine came with a CD which did everything for me IIRC

Windows also should have a smartwizard that will do it for you as well
