My neice next door just got wireless through her cable company. She offered me access to it. I have a PC (XP op. syst.) approximately 50 feet from her station. What do I need to get to be able to access her system and what does she have to do to allow access?

You will need a wireless card for your PC; a USB one might be sufficient. And she needs to setup her router to accept a wireless connection and then share the password with you. The router manual is probably your best bet.
