I have MacBook Pro (purchased in Dec 2011). Does it have a built-in Airport Card?
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)
It certainly does.

Hi John,
Thanks
You're welcome... are you having trouble joining wireless networks?
Hi John,
Thanks for asking whether I am having a problem joining wireless network.
Yes, I am have a problem; I have been trying to join a Window PC from my My MacBook Pro (a late 2011 model).
Appreciate if you could help me instructing the procedure. Regards.
Sure, Windows computers will automatically appear in a Finder's Sidebar under "Shared" as shown in this video:

There is nothing you have to do from the Mac's side of the connection. It is difficult to get other Macs and PCs to not appear there.
If they do not appear, then the Windows PC is not configured to share its public folders. See these Windows support sites to determine what to do:

Third party Windows firewall or "anti-virus" software may need its settings modified to enable sharing.
