You need to install the driver for his wireless adapter.
Probably in a PCI slot, if not built in the motherboard.
Maybe a USB 2.0 one.

Hmm...
Check device manager... It might have the name.
I'm checking if dxdiag will show it, brb.
Nope...

Check for documentation on it, open the case and look for a model number, run programs like Everest Home Edition and let it scan your hardware.

In device manager, I have a tab called 'Network adapters'
It shows what PCI wireless adapter I'm using.

i found out the PCI used by scanning my computer with Everest. i found out that my brother has "realtek rtl8139 family pci fast ethernet nic" so i downloaded the driver, burnt it to a cd then installed it into his computer. finished installing and still doesn't work. |
Deleted new one, bump for this one.
