My Wireless connection is crap...help

The ESSID is on the same page as the channel. Change it from "wireless" to something you understand, butis otherwise meaningless. Like "thegreatestloverofalltime"

When you do this, you will lose the wireless connection until you tell your PC to look for the new ESSID, "thegreatestloverofalltime".

Do this, and then we'llwork on getting WEP established.

Great! I'm connected and these are looking good. If you could help with the encryption i' appreciate it. Also, my roomate is having troubles connecting to the web. I use sbc dsl. is there something i have to do to let him login through his laptop. i thought he should automatically connect if i was on?
thanks again!
