So Cal Free Net.org

I just recently discovered this site, through accident. When I bought my wife a new Averatec 6240 laptop, I noticed that on occasion, I would pick up a wireless signal from someone. I clicked on the network, and of course the laptop wasn't setup to log into the network.

We live in the Sherman Heights area (19th and Imperial) and I imagine I am picking up the Sherman Heights node and would appreciate if someone on this site, can guide me through the procedures to setup my wife's laptop.

Any help would be appreciated.
