Connecting Desktop w/Wireless Card to existing d-link router thru

by jamareynolds . Updated 19 years, 1 month ago

Sorry to sound like an idiot but . . . .I recently moved in with a friend who has a laptop with wireless internet. The internet service is with Verizon and the router is a d-link. I did not have a wireless card in my desktop so I purchased a linksys. I have my desktop in my room plugged into power and ran the CD, which came with my linksys wireless card. I can see the internet connection (SSID) that my friend has previously set up but I still am unable to get connected to the internet. Is this because I need her passphrase? Like I said, I can see her internet SSID plus our neighbors around us but I cannot connect? And, once I get the passphrase, will I have to type this everytime?
