How to set-up WiFi on another desktop PC?

[Nonny]

Hello, so I've got a silly question. How do I set-up WiFi connection on another desktop PC?
It works just fine on one desktop (that is directly connected from router with internet cable), all smartphones, PS3.
Are there any settings I am missing? Or do I need to buy some kind of LAN/internet card for that desktop?

OS and hardware of that desktop PC:
OS: Windows Vista Ultimate (6.0, Build 6001)
MOBO: M4A78-AM
CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 240
RAM: 2 x 1 GB
GPU: nVidia 9400 GT

Router that I am using: Linksys E1200

The pc needs a wireless receiver to pickup the signal from the router, If there is no wireless device in the pc then it will not work.

Also if the pc does not have a lan port on the back like most modern pc's then you would need to buy a lan card so you can run a cable from the pc to the router.

If the pc does have a lan port but its not working then it might just need drivers installed inless its just so old its broke.

Yes something like this would do but just make sure there are drivers for the OS you are using.
