If you have an operating system other than Windows XP, HP recommends that you use the configuration program that came with your wireless LAN card. To find the configuration program for your wireless LAN card, access your computer's list of programs.

Using the LAN card configuration program, create a network profile that has the following values:

•Network name (SSID): Mynetwork (example only)

NOTE: You should create a network name that is unique and easy for you to remember. Just remember that the network name is case-sensitive. Therefore, you must remember which letters are uppercase and lowercase.
