untill the device is recognised you have no chance, when you plug it in, look in device manager to see if its been picked up, it should appear under network adaptors. If it hasn't try a different port to be sure, if still no luck try it on another PC.
You don't need anyting other than a wireless card assuming you do have a wireless router???? You didn't mention this but we are all assuming you do have such a thing already? How does your PC downstairs connect to teh Internet? modem or some other way? what ISP etc

Haha well i saw the bit where the phone line for the computer was but it was covered by the plastic of the tower. I got a screwdriver and poked it through so found that.
The computer downstairs is a very good computer and a recent one so decided to see if the usb dongle would work on that and it doesnt pick it up and nothing comes on screen like new hardware found so im guessing there is deffinatly something wrong with that which is the problem.
We have a desktop computer downstairs in the conservatory which has wireless already in it like a laptop which connects to the wireless router in the porch.
I hope this all makes sense
