Does that mean she has broadband internet access and is using a D-Link wireless router?

Do you mean that you detect other wireless networks, but not your daughter's? If so, maybe she has the SSID broadcast disabled.

Things to check;
Make sure the wireless button or switch on the laptop is enabled.
Make sure the wireless network connection is enabled.

What operating system are you using. [windows XP, windows Vista, Mac 10.x] When you boot your computer the splash screen will normally show you what OS(operating system) you would use.

Do you use a third party connection utility (example; Dell Wireless card utility) or does windows manage your wireless network connections.
