Select the appropriate Network name (ESSID) from the drop down list, select the passowrd type and enter the authentication key required for access to the wireless network.
If your wireless base station is configured to provide IP addresses using DHCP (the most common configuration) then leave this setting unchanged. In the unlikely event that you are required to manually enter network configuration information change this setting to ''Static IP address'' and enter your IP address, subnet mask and gateway address. if you are unsure as to what these values are check with your network administrator.
