go to the router config page from the PC... look somewhere to see if Broadcasting is on... then on the lappy... right click the wireless connection icon in network properties, properties, and hit view available networks

My router should be sending out the network signal all the time right... so if I set it up on my end right, when we try and see available networks it should pop up...?
