The network adapter that you need (as you were told) was a wireless network adapter card that fits inside your PC or comes as a USB dongle.

But, no need for that. If you had Wi-Fi earlier, then surely you have a wireless network adapter already installed. The reason you don't have it now, is that Vista isn't detecting it.

The resolution for your problem is completely free. Just go to your PC manufacturer's site, find support for your model and then install the wireless network adapter's drivers. After a reboot, your wireless connectivity will be as good as new.

Good luck, and please add a few rep points for me by clicking one of the three icons on the top-right of this post.
