    Assuming you have wifi there, you should be able to create a wireless connection profile on your own pc and access the wifi bubble that's around the house.

    For this your pc will need to have a wireless network card and you will need an SSID and WEP number which was used to set up the first connection. If you need to buy a card it should cost around €100 maybe less, not much more I think.

    You can get wireless adapters for Pc's for 5 euro on ebay that use USB I think.

    You could also get a network cable and plug directly into the router assuming it has ports or into the other computer if its nearer and enable Internet connection sharing on the other computer.
