or go Start/ Control Panel /Network Connections

double click on your wireless connection:

You should see a list of available networks, from here you can follow the intructions - The SSID is the network name you will see on this screen , find out which one it is if more than one show up. If the network is unsecured you can connect at this point, but if it is secured, you will need the WEP key  

Answer 2

There is some cellphone companies that offer a wireless network which you connect through the usb port. Or If you are going to stay in a hotel there is some that offer wireless network just ask them for the wep key also some coffe shops offer wireless network like starbucks.

Answer 3

Well, if you have an airport card, then you can pick up internet, wherever there is a wireless connection. Sometimes at stores, restaurants, & other places have wireless... but not just in the middle of nowhere..

Good Luck! I hope you make it out!
