Hey,

My uncle asked me yesterday if I could pass by to look at the new computer he bought.
Well, I don't know that much so I'm going to ask you guys what I should do to detect the problem.
In about houres I'm going there so please tell me what things I should check, what are the possibilities and what things I have to do.

He bought a new desktop and I think he has wireless internet, and the problem is he can't get on the internet.
I don't now much about the problem, because I've not been there yet, so I want to know what I should do when I go there, because I will not have internet to help me.
So what are the possibilities?

-he has no wireless card in his computer?
-something else?

And what thinks do I have to do in order to check what the problem is? How do I see if he has such a card??


Thanks!!!
