Hi Chris

There was no Manual as in paper, the manual on the computer is almost usless

The wireless is is built in and is an Intel Pro/Wireless Lan 2100 38 Mini PC Adaptor

Well you give some ideas to follow up on tomorow.

It is time to quit tonight as it is 1:40 am on the West Coast of Canada

Regards Al

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.
