i have just brought a new laptop, how do i go about setting this up for
wireless use as it is my main computer and i have not yet got a broadband

Hi
To connect Wirelessly you need a Wireless source.
Usually it would be your broadband connection, and a Wireless Cable/DSL
Router.
Otherwise you can go into one of the Internet Cafés, and use the Wireless
there according to what ever they offer.
In general you configure Wireless as follow.
