Dustin, this really is a question for the microsoft.public.windows.tabletpc
newsgroup, however first make sure you've actually turned on the wireless.
Depending on which model Tablet PC you own, there may be a switch or button
to enable the wireless.
Then go into Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Services and scroll down the
list to nearly the bottom where you'll see Wireless Zero Configuration.
Right-click the entry, then select Properties. On the General tab, set the
Startup type to Automatic, then under Service Status, tap the Start button.
Tap Apply and then OK your way out, and restart the system.
Then go into Network Connections (could be on your Start Menu, or available
in Control Panel), and you should see the installed networking devices
listed, including Wireless Network Connection, which you can right-click and
select Properties to see your settings. Generally, you just set everything
to accept the feed from the router, but may need to put the WEP or WPA key
in before you can connect.
Also, right-click My Computer, select Properties and then go to the Computer
Name tab and you'll note a Workgroup listing. If it doesn't match that of
your network, tap the Change button, and on the resulting page you'll see
where you can change it.
