Establish whether the laptop has a wireless adapter -- I don't think it does, but Compaq's (not Compac) site may tell you if you look for your model's spec.
If it does not you need to add hardware -- purchase either a USB wireless adapter or a PCMCIA wireless adapter.
Once that is installed and working you need to address your router's literature for how to add your laptop to the wireless network.
