After the wizard finishes, your computer is ready to connect to the network.
Connect to the network:
Windows XP automatically polls the area for available wireless access points. If one is present, Windows XP tries to connect to it.

You may have to ask the LAN administrators for specific settings. If you are on a domain, you may have to request client certificates.
7. Click OK.
After you add the new access point, you can connect to the new network.
Roam to another network:
