You just need a driver for you network card. If you fill in your system specs (lower left corner of your posts) so we know what hardware you have.

then we need you router/modem info

Btw welcome to vistax64

I have a 1525 myself

I m sure you must have received some CD with the wireless router. As said by Ken, its just the driver that you will need to install and then configure the wireless router(a bit painful).

what model of network card? If you dont know you can take the express number on the computer and go to support.dell.com click on drivers and downloads, and enter your express number. It will find all the drivers you need. just need to tell it if you are 32bit or 64bit. You probably are 32bit.

download the drivers and install them, then reboot and it should work

What's the name and model # of the router?
Should be something like belkin, d-link or netgear.

that number isnt valid there is another sticker on the bottom that is like 6-8 letters and numbers but we really dont need it now.

You already have where to go. download the driver to the other computer and either burn it to cd or copy it to a usb thumb drive. then install it on the computer that cant connect, reboot
