On a Windows XP PC, this setting is typically found in the Network Control Panel. From inside the Network Connections control panel, double-click on your connection, then click on View Wireless Networks (XP SP2) or the Wireless Networks tab under Properties (XP pre-SP2).
Also,
If the SSID is not found in the Network Control Panel on a Windows system, look for a program group installed by the card driver. Also check your system tray in the taskbar near the clock and look for a running card setting/configuration tool. This is especially in the case of versions of windows before XP (95-2000).
Now keep in mind there are way more people that know the default codes, so please lock er down once you are established.
Also, you do know your WAN, MAC, IP, and Gateways?
If not, you will have to invoke WMinfo,~hardware~NetWorkAdapterCfg~Then scroll down until you have it.

I'm sorry Mr. Assassin, but Windows will not recognize an ethernet based connection as wireless no matter how much you want it to.
If I'm reading the initial post correctly, his functioning PC is hard wired to the router not wireless. Therefore, XP doesn't know there is a wireless network available, only the router does.
