1. does your laptop have a wired or wireless connection

if wireless, yes she can, if wired, it may be difficult.

basically do you need to plug it in to anything but a power cable to connect to the internet?

do you have a modem that you have to enter a pin/code for to connect it to the computer?

when you click the start button on your laptop to get your programs up there should be "connect to" option, click on that and you will get a few options ie your neighbours internet. click on the one which is yours and it will ask for a password,this should be on your router put it in and you connect wirelessly.
