windows 2000 - Enable wifi

I have a very old laptop running Windows 2000.

Can wifi be used in Windows 2000 Professional? If so, how do I enable this?

When I look at Network properties, I only see options related to dialup.

wifi on the laptop is switched on
Does the machine have Wi-Fi in it?  It may not.

Does it have a USB port? Try an inexpensive Wi-Fi USB stick. That will come with its own drivers.
