Default Need help with a wireless connection...?

I have a cable connection in my house on my main computer. My wife has been using her laptop (HP Pavillion dv5000) to cruise the internet by picking up a close wireless signal.
Well, the signal has left the building!

Question: Is it possible to somehow make my cable connection send a signal out that my wifes laptop can recieve? If so, what would I need to do this?

Thanks for any help...
Mike

you need to get a wireless link

plug it into your router / modem and go from there.

In the way of brand go for D link - i have 2 of them and i have never had a problem.
