I have wireless router on my desktop pc and 2 laptops in home. One can connect easily to mt wireless network but my Compaq Evo N600 C will not show that tere is a network available and cant connect to wireless unless I buy a wireless usb stick. Please tell me how I can connect witout the stick Thanks
If the stick is the solution, why are you avoiding the solution?
From what you have said, the internal wifi in the Evo doesn't work, while
an external usb stick does.
Assuming that your internal wifi is properly configured and functional, it is
incapable of picking up your home wifi signal, though it might be functional in other situations ... Buying an external usb stick gives you a better antenna position and takes nothing away from your system, while adding functionality and sheilding the innards of your system from viral
attack as a first line of attack that is detachable.
Buy the USB stick.

I noted the fact that your internal wireless card might be present, but
even if "...configured and functional, it is incapable of picking up your home
wifi signal"
There could be a number of reasons for this, but the most prevalent is the possibility that your home wifi signal is not in a line-of-sight attitude with
the laptop unit, and your internal antenna is not able to pick up your signal.
I have answered several queries involving diseased wifi cards (one of which involved a person's card which was infected to the point of inoperability after use at a hotel's wifi installation during a vacation.
I am trying to give you a second line of defense, since the inoperability of
your present card may owe to the possible fact of it's having been compromised.
The external usb stick may save your laptop.
