Do you want wireless Boothy?

If you do YES it can.

These are the magic words. Wi Fi b/g. ESPRIMO Mobile VSS3S

If you don't, just hard wire it.

Go to Control Panel and then Network Connection

Look there if there is Wireless Network Connection and see if it is disabled.

Enable it if it is disabled

The wireless capability is built in but more importantly is your router wireless?

If your friend could connect to the internet then you most probably have got a router.
