The simplest answer is to add a wireless adapter to your PC that doesn't have one. If it's a desktop you need a PCI card and if a Laptop a PC Card (PCMCIA). You could use a a USB adapter in either but they are not recommended.

Assuming that you have Ethernet adapters in both PCs you could connect them together and use the connected one's connection but by the time you buy a cross over cable and spend ages making it work. (This is assumed as you do not appear to have any computing skills.) you would be better off spending slightly more than the cross over cable on a wireless adapter.

BTW I shan't be looking at closed questions in future so it is important that you enter NEW question as as I said before.

The answer is yes but. You don't say what the wireless box is but if it is a router why would you want to go via the other PC? Wireless router have wired connections too - called Ethernet.

As you would need to run a wire between the two computers why not wire the non-networked PC direct to the router? This all assumes that your other PC HAS an Ethernet adapter even if it doesn't have wireless.

If you need more, post a NEW question with what the wireless box is and what communications your non-networked PC has.
