I doubt very much that your PC has got enough memory or processing power to run XP. How much memory has it got and how much space is there on the hard disk?
Is this XP CD you've got brand new and not been used on any other PC to install Windows?
If you want to connect it to a wireless router you will need a wireless interface of some sort. It could be a USB stick but there is more reliable equipment available.

Do you know that we're all in line for succession to the throne? Really?
Well, if forty-eight million, two hundred thousand, seven hundred and one people died I'd be Queen.
