How to find if I have wireless connectivity on my PC?

Hi all

We have a wireless Netgrear router to which one PC is connected by Ethernet
cable. I want to link my PC, which is in another room, to this wirelessly.
However when I go into Control panel (I am running WXP -spk2) I see the icon
saying Wireless network setup ,but I cannot set it up. I am not actually
sure whether there is a wireless card in the PC, which is my question, whre
do I go on the PC to find out if I have a wireless card?

Thanks in advance of help
