| | Re: Wireless internet If its unsecured yes, all you have to do is Click Start > Connect To and select Wireless Connection and click connect. If its secured, you will probably need a WEP key to get access to it. On XP, its the same, only difference is, you will have use the Wireless network wizard in control panel and provide a WEP key if its a secured wireless connection.. -- Andre Blog: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com My Vista Quickstart Guide: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com/blog...3DB!9709.entry "XP via WindowsKB.com" <u33001@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:7981e44bf2fdb@xxxxxx Quote: >I have a laptop and there is a building that is close to my home that has >Hi- > Speed Internet.
