Is there a way that I can connect an external antenna to my Laptop that has an internal wireless card?
Thanks in advance for the help

No.
Yes :)
Open the cover for the wireless card, find the connector for the internal antenna and make a fly lead out to an external connector.
Sure, it's not going to be easy and if you're after better gain, personally I'd stick with the internal one for day to day use and get either a USB or a PCMCIA card with an external antenna connector, it's much easier and it'll work.

Maybe. If your unspecified wireless card in your unspecified laptop has a mini-PCI card that has two Hirose u-FL connectors going to the antenna(s), then you can purchase a u-FL to whatever pigtail and attach an external antenna. You'll probably need to drill a notch in the laptop case to route the coax cable out of the case. See:
