Wireless Network Help

[djcj]

My auntie has bought a laptop, a Toshiba L20

and a belkin router (she says its model number 125, but i doubt this).

What i want to know is, does she need to buy a wireless network card? As the laptop states it has "Built in Wireless LAN 802.11g 54Mbps". Can she just switch the router and laptop on and they will connect, or does it require a network card as well?

Thanks.

My auntie has tried to set it up, everything seems to work fine and can access the internet on it. But when she disconnects the ethernet cable after setting it up, the connection drops. I'm going to go round tomorrow night to see if i can set it up for her. Got any tips? Or troubleshooting problems that i can check as to why connection drops after removing the cable.

Cheers

Basically, it works fine when setting it up with the ethernet cable attached, and as soon as she removed the cable it dies. Maybe she hasn't activated the actual wireless part of the laptop. Haven't a clue though
