What do you mean a wireless access point? I have a 2wire modem/router/firewall that I got from SBC. My computer is hooked to it through the ethernet port, and works fine.

Now I want to connect the Wife's computer wirelessly. The documentation tells me I can connect to it w/ other computers via ethernet cable, usb cable, or wireless ethernet card.

I bought a wireless ethernet card and installed it. It works, and identifies several wireless connections available in my neighborhood. I want to connect to my particular modem/router. But, now I'm having trouble working the WEC and SSID and all that info into it, because I don't know them.

I can't open the 2wire modem box and read this information, obviously, so I'm wondering what program I can open on my working/connected computer (which was connected pretty much automatically) that can tell me what info I need to enter into my wife's computer to make it work.
