Hi John,
        If the Laptop has WiFi built in, and it is running windows XP,
then it will have software built in to find wireless access points. Just
turn it on, and it will try to find something locally, unless the
feature has been turned off.

Thanks,
Matt

I just got an HP Notebook and would like to use it while traveling to
connect to the internet.

Can anyone tell me what software to get  to find and use available
networks while on the road?

I'm virtually illiterate when it comes to that kind of networking and to
even use the letters WI FI expresses my total knowldge about the
subject.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Regards,
