wireless Ethernet networking on your computer if other computers with the same

■ If WEP is used by your access point, go to the Windows XP Wireless Networking
Properties window and make sure that both the WAP and the WLAN in the computer
have matching WEP keys.
You are in a wireless network, but no available networks are listed in the Windows XP
Wireless Networking utility.
If the network you are attempting to access does not broadcast its SSID, you need
■
to request the SSID from the administrator and add that network's information
into the wireless utility. For more information, see
page 99.

You may want to try entering ANY as the SSID, which will make the computer
try to auto-detect the network.
Your wireless network is listed as a preferred network, but it has an "x" on it.
■ An x means your preferred network is not currently available or you are not
currently in range to connect.
