Right hang on, it says "Wireless communication switch is turned off. Turn on the wireless communication switch (a-1)"

What does that mean?

Right, now I need more help...
On the PC I have my connection to the Internet (DCHP) which is working fine. The wireless NIC has an IP of 192.168.0.1 (it says manually configured) but on the laptop it says that it is using an automatic private address and won't connect to the Internet...plz help!!

all you need to do is run the network wizard as handyman said before!:)
Then you should be up and running :)

I tried that, but the laptop still says there is a problem with DNS when I try to connect it to the internet...

give this a whirl then, check what the ip address of the pc is and set the laptop as something similar eg: PC 192.168.0.1 Laptop 192.168.0.2 on the laptop set up the gateway and dns server ip addresses on the laptop to the ip address of the PC. If that does not work try goin in to network places, look at the internet connection properties and make sure the connection is shared. Just out of interest can you ping the pc from the laptop and visa versa?
