Default Wireless Network question

I'm gonna have 2 computers hooked up to wireless networking. I have a router, so the router will be hooked up to my new computer with cable. Now the other computer is what is confusing. It has an ethernet card so I don't know if that would work or do I need one of those cards with an antenna?

if you are near the router, then us the cable. if you are far away, and can't string the cable, then you will need a Wireless card. You can get a USB option as well as internal. either will work...

Yeah they'll be far away, so I need a wireless card? Do I just take out the ethernet card and put wireless card in that spot? How much do they cost?

cost isn't much. 20 - 30 I think...Like I said, you don't have to do interanl, but if you ant, then that would be fine, or you can use another port on the MOBO too. matters not.
