I am unfamiliar with anything called a can so if you're talking about a tin can thinking it can pick up internet signals you're crazy. What you need for wireless internet first is a wifi hotspot nearby or a neighbor with an unsecured wireless network or have your own Wireless network with a Wireless router.





Second you need a wireless network adapter card you can either get a USB which will fit both a Desktop Computer and a Laptop computer like this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...





Or you can get a Card that is made for a desktop PCI like this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...





Or you can get a Card for a laptop PCMCIA like this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...





Good Luck HTH.
Reply:A can? Lets see....





First you'll need some other materials.... Some duct tape, a coat hanger, an old nintendo game cartridge, a wodden paint stirrer stick and some wire.... Take the can and the coat hanger. Wrap the coat hanger around the can leaving about 2 inches of it hanging....then take the wire and attach it to the coathanger make sure the metal is touching and also make sure you have some more. you'll need it later....Now take the duct tape wrap it around the end of the paint stick make sure to leave most of the stick hanging and to make sure the opening of the can is facing upwards. Now take the stick/can and use more duct tape and attach the stick to your head makeing sure the can faces up and the stick is on the back of your head take the nintendo cartridge and balance it on top of the can...then all you need to do is take some more wire tie one end to your finger and stick the other end under your keyboard making sure the wire is pointing your monitor... then just restart the computer and there you go ......
