I have a desktop computer in a room without a phone jack how can we make it wireless?

We have 2 laptops and one desktop. The desktop is in a room without a jack in it and we don't want to move it because it's our mom's computer and she uses it. We just got a package for AT%26amp;T to do Wi-fi. Is there a way to make her desktop wireless without having to buy something to do it? She is running a Vista.|||Unless it has a wireless card installed you will have to buy either a wireless card or run cable to phone company unit. Or have another jack installed by local phone co.|||You need a router and a usb wireless adapter. The router you need to configure properly - it won't automatically let the other pc use the internet (unless of course you have ALL security features turned off but I don't recommend this)... The usb wireless adapter would connect to the desktop and this would be what will identify it on the router. You will need to configure the network settings on the desktop too, to see the network, it won't automatically work without configuration... Vista is a little picky too about the settings - so you may have to try several combination before you get it to work...|||I presume the "package for AT%26amp;T to do wireless" is an ADSL modem / router / switch / wireless device (adsl modem router).





To enable the desktop to connect to the adsl modem router, you have two choices:





1. Run a straight CAT5 cable from desktop to network port of the adsl modem router





2. Purchase and install a wireless network interface for the desktop. This can be a USB or a PCI style device. This option will work only if your desktop is in range of the wireless router.|||you ATT package should have included the wireless router. All you need is a wireless card in the desktop. A USB wireless adapter is the easiest and they're cheap.|||There are devices that create a network using your household electrical system, but they're expensive, like around eighty bucks (US).|||It would need to have wireless built into the computer otherwise you have to buy something.|||Not without buying something no, you would have to at least get a wireless card for the desktop!|||No, you are going to have to buy a router and a USB ariel.
