Do you have wireless internet?
And if you do how many ports?

If you have more than 2 computers in your house already
that run off of one modem you will need 3 ports. If you meet
the requirements you should be able to setup your computer
to that wireless internet and it should work, your pc will find
the internet o_o

If that is the case, then yes, you can connect from your old computer's internet to the new one.

Most wireless modems have about 3 ports if you're only using one or two of them you can use the third one as the one you connect to the computer in your room,
just make sure you disconnected your laptop from the modem so its not still using a port.

You also have to get a wireless card for your computer, you might not get it with it.
