I want to add another computer to my existing wireless network
The install wizard asks for my "SSID." It has been so long since I first setup my network that I cannot remember what I used. How can I find out what my "SSID" is?

The "SSID" is your wireless network's name.Boulder Computer MavenMicrosoft Most Valuable Professional

You might be able to find it by in the control panel of the computers already on the network.

HiIf the computer Wireless card is On and you have a Wireless icon in the Tray, you just click on the icon and choose your Network.The name that belongs to you and appears in the Wireless Network list , is your SSID.http://www.ezlan.net/Win7/SSID.jpg Jack-MVP Windows Networking. WWW.EZLAN.NET

Jack: This is a forum for Windows XP. I think the above is only applicable for Windows 7.

Go to Control Panel/Network Connections. Find the wireless network you're connected to. Right-click it and go to properties. You should be able to find the SSID there.Hope this helps.
