Solved How do I go Wireless?

[sikm]

Running Win7 32bit.

PC currently directly connected to the modem.

PC has a Network adapter: Marvell Yukon 88E8056 PCI-E Gigabyte Ethernet

Does the above adapter allow me to connect to the wireless network rather than with the cable and, if so, how do I go about it?

You will need a wireless adapter.

Wireless Adapters, PCI Adapter, Wireless-G Adapter - Newegg.com

Forgive my ignorance...

...where does the Network Adapter fit into the scheme of things?

It goes inside your case, on the motherboard.

You could just get a wireless usb adapter, look at the Newegg link I posted.

Here`s more.
