To locate an available Wireless network:

  1. Click on the wireless icon in the taskbar, typically a small monitor marked with a small red "x".


  2. The Wireless connection dialog should appear with a list of available networks. You may need to click on the Refresh network list in the left pane to get the most up to date listing.

If the dialog shows no connections, with the text "Windows cannot configure this wireless connection. If you have enabled another program to configure this wireless connection, use that software.", then you will need to use the software that was installed to view and select the wireless network connections.
