Is this the "Location Profile"? Which shows as TiggerCat or is that where I am connected to?

  
??
I have the D-Link Wireless Network Name as TiigerCat
  
We can be pretty sure it isn't.
If I am wrong where do I find the name for the name of the wireless device

  
If there is one, in the Windows device list (or whatever the name is).
This name shows in an "IBM Access Conections" window

T-40 is running WindowsXP

  
If Windy hasn't automagically installed the driver etc... etc..., this only can mean, take your pick:

- or the laptop hasn't an inbuild wireless device (device = hardware)

- or due to some miracolous miracle Windy hasn't detected the device and hence not installed the device driver etc... etc...


If the first,  purchase a cheap PCMCIA card (cardbus type) that comes with Windy drivers in the box.

If the second, prior to anything you'll have to look for the name of the wireless inbuild device (= hardware) in the TP's manual.
Was Windy XP the OS the laptop originally came with?

Bottom line: wireless connection between your TP and your routier is a Windy affair and nothing but a Windy affair.
