Ok... I bought a network card (Belkin) to add wireless to my laptop. I want
to connect at hotel and hotspots, etc.

While loading this program I am being asked questions that I can't possibly
know. For example:

Network name

Something about SSID

Instructions state to contact the administrator of the host computer. The
host computer will vary depending on where I am.

I am sure this is a basic task, but I don't have basic knowledge to do it.

Help please.

Hi

You did not indicate which Program you are talking about.

Insert the card and install the drivers.

If you have WinXP make sure that you are upgraded to SP2.

Use WinXP Wireless capabilities, http://ecross.mvps.org/howto/configwlan.htm
