At a friend's house

I brought my Dell laptop (Windows XP) with Siemen Wireless PCMCIA card to a
friend's house. He had DSL Verizon service with a gateway which provided
ethernet and wireless. The connection through ethernet worked fine (internet)
but I could not get a wireless connection. I also could not get the wireless
icon when I selected XP Network Connections. Are there options to set or
security to deal with? Any suggestions on how to proceed?
Thanks,
fredm
