I saw some post here about entering something forWEP password or something but I am not sure. And I dont know how to copy netstumbler reading to post here.

I hope somebody can help me. My best regards.

Billy,

What you're seeing is Windows configuring itself for the default 169.254 private B class network that it uses when it cannot find a DHCP server to provide a valid network address.

NetStumbler will not help you connect to the network, it's not designed to do that.

No one here will help you connect to a network that you are not authorised to use - if you think you're authorised to use the one at work, go have a chat with the network administrator, he will help you configure your system so that it can connect.
