Question can't renew IP address

Hi! I'm new =3.
I need help with setting up wireless internet. I am comp. illiterate so bear with me.

I have a Cisco system PCI Wireless LAN card. first of all, can I even access the internet with this?? I'm really confused because I can connect to an access point but I when I open a browser, it says that it can't find the server. In internet options, I have the connection section set so that it automatically detects settings.

I tried using the command prompt to renew the IP address but it can't. It says that it was unable to contact a DHCP server. I checked by using ipconfig /all and found that DHCP is not enabled. I don't even know what DHCP is really. Nor do I have a router, which has been mentioned several times in the sites I looked at.

Does anyone have any suggestions? any insight would be appreciated =).

Thanks
