revealing the make and model number of the laptop would be a good start for garnering advice. The information is usually printed on the underside of the machine.

Do you want to connect this laptop wirelessly? It would also help to provide the make and model of the router that your PC is connected to.

Network cable if it has a network port and wirelessly if you have a wireless router and if the laptop has a wireless card.
