I have done tech support for some good-sized companies, and you'd be surprised how many people fail to turn on the wireless antenna in their laptops!  SOMEWHERE on that machine you'll find a switch; if you don't already know where it is, look up the machine's spec's online.  As to finding locations - try http://www.wi-fihotspotlist.com/

yes you can do that as long as the frequency is 802.11 b or g. almost all new laptops also have built in wireless and should pick up on your router

any kind of wireless card that will be compatible with your operating system. first find out what is your system configuration. \nthen check out computer stores online/offline and check for wireless cards that are compatible with your configuration.

Get a wireless PC card and put it into your PC slot...you can get either b or g for your laptop.\n\nIt looks like this:\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000056SSM/002-2707582-1676853?v=glance&n=172282\n\nIf you already have WIFI on your laptop then you dont need this card, but if you dont, then you need to force your laptop to be wireless by getting the card above.\n\nIts pretty cheap. You can also get it on ebay for cheaper. Once you slide it in, you can automatically connect.

You should open up the mini-pci compartment and see if there are antenna cables there--some laptops have them preinstalled. Otherwise, you'll probably have to stick with your PCMCIA card, because there aren't mini-pci wireless cards that don't need antennas as far as I know.

No, you can't. Your wi-fi card is specifically and only designed to talk to other network aware devices, a mouse isn't a network device so this will simply never work.

The best way is probably through a wi-fi router, but if you don't want to add a wireless adapter to your computer you can consider using one of the power outlets ethernet adapters in the market -- they will use the electric wiring in your house to route the ethernet traffic -- they work great (I have one)\n\nCheck out the products from linksys - http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Product_C2&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1115416874725&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper

You'll need to install an Ethernet PCMCIA network interface card.  Unless you have a wireless router, then you should install a wireless network card.  (This is preferred if you have a laptop because it's all about portability.)  If you have an RJ-45 jack built-in to your laptop, make sure it's Ethernet and enabled in your laptop's BIOS.

Buy a wireless network card (if your laptop doesnt already have one).  You can buy these as USB attachments or PCMCIA cards.\n\nThen you need a wireless network to connect to. I recommend the Linksys 54g Wireless Router.  If you have another source for a wireless connection, this is not required.

Well, you should be able to get into your router's setup from one of your PCs (methods for this vary, consult the router's  manual) and disable *just* the wireless network. Anyone physically plugged into the router would still be able to get online, so if the laptop is the only thing connecting wirelessly, that would work.
