Obtain the following information from your System Administrator:
A Client Name (SSID) for your wireless card
SSID(s) for your wireless card
WEP Key information for your wireless card
Note: There are four separate profiles for your wireless
network. Each profile has an SSID and a WEP
key corresponding to your current wireless network. You
can configure all four profiles in advance (refer to Completing the Setup
section), but only one profile is active at a time. If
you move to another wireless network with a different SSID and WEP key, you can manually
switch to the appropriate profile without having to retype the SSID and WEP information.
For Microsoft® Windows® networking, your Customer Name and Workgroup Name

Notes:
Dell cannot provide you with this information, as it is specific to your
network.
Network Name (SSID) - The Network Name (also known as the Service
Set Identifier [SSID] controls access to a given wireless network. This value MUST match
the Network Name of any/all Access Points that you want to communicate with. If the value
does not match, you are not granted access to the system. The value can be up to 32
characters in length, and the Network Name is case sensitive.
WEP - This is a form of data encryption used to scramble the data
sent over the airwaves. You must set the WEP Key in the client to match the WEP Key used
by the Access Point because you will ONLY associate to Access Points that have a matching
WEP Key. WEP can be enabled or disabled and is optional.
