Renaming a wireless connection



Replaced a router with a Belkin that has wired and wireless in its features.
Desktop is wired to this router.
Laptop (IBM) found the wireless and connected with the name STEWART.
I still have a cable in the laptop for it to be part of a home network. The
laptop will show up in the desktop without the cable but without the cable a
pop up systray dialoque warns that a cable is not connected if the cable is
not inserted
This is a contradiction to the manual which establishes that the default
includes the name Belkin.
Contacting Belkin resulted in the recommendation to change the name.

What do I have to look out for if the name is changed in the laptop?
