I am going from memory here because my Xp box is at the office, but there should be an icon for you wireless connection in the system tray on the bottom right. If you are not connected it will have an x through it. Either click on it or right-click (I forget which) and choose "available connections". There should be an option there somewhere to Add a connection in which you type the SSID.
