I suspect that you and the sales person were talking about different things. . Your new computer probably came with a wireless MODEM, which must have a corresponding wireless ROUTER attached to your network. If you don't have a wireless router attached to your home network, you won't be able to connect wirelessly. . Post back if you need further information or if I've missed the question somehow.

Rate it, if it helps.

Ok, if her main computer is connected wireless, and still works, you may not have to reset the router at all.

Go here: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/wireless_key.html

download it, and run it on her main computer. It basically finds the key that windows has already saved, and allows you to view it.

Let me know if you have any other issue. :)

You have to install first the wireless card in your laptop (if doesn't have any)
Be sure that your wireless network is working (if you need to configure the devices or connect them see this:

http://www.microsoft.com/athome/moredone/wirelesssetup.mspx
Then do this:

Setting wireless network on Win XP
Click your Start Button
Select and click Control Panel
Select Network Connections
Select Wireless Network Connections
Right click
Select View Available Wireless Networks
5. Highlight the network you want to connect to
Click Advanced
6. Select the wireless network tab
7. Highlight the network in the available networks window
9. Click configure
9. IN the Properties Window
Double check the SSID (network name)
Enter the WEP KEY provided to you by the office
Click OK

You could try one of a few things.

1, get a wireless card if it does not have one already,
2. get regular internet from an ISP
3. Reset the network connections and make sure all cables are connected properly,
4. Set up a home network and use a second computer that has a reliable internet connection
5. move the tower around to see if it can catch a wireless signal,
6 (and last that i can pull from my head) Is to get a wireless signal expander to lengthen the range of current wireless around your house.

Im assuming that your main computer is a wired computer or connected to the network via an ethernet cable, there is no way to check it because the WPA Encryption is for the wireless only. If you enable WPA encryption on your wireless network, all of the wireless computer should connect first and used the WPA key you set on your network. Once the profile of your network is saved on your computers, they will just automatically connect everytime they are detecting your network.
