First of all see if Starbucks or Barnes and Noble have a connection sheet. If not, right click on your Wireless connection ICON and click on View Available Wireless Networks. Find the one in the place you are at and click on it.You should connect.

WARN ING: Be VERY careful as to what places you access on a public network. You never know who is lurking in the shadows and are gathering IDs and passwords. DO not access any financial or secure sites that someone could get to.

Nothing is as secure as your own secured wireless network.
