Configure the wireless network card. Every Wi-Fi hot spot has its own security code to control access to the hosted network. The network card automatically recognises the type of network to which it is connecting and either alerts the user that the network is insecure or asks for a security key. Obtain the security key from the network administrator if you don't already have it. After entering the security key, click "Connect." The Dell Inspiron 1000 now has wireless Internet.
