The SSID is specified in the adapter configuration accessed from the "Network" control panel. The method of doing this varies between different versions of Windows. Please pick the guide for your operating system.

Click on the "Start Menu," go to "Settings," and select "Control Panel." In the "Control Panel" there will be an icon labeled "Network." Double-click on it. This will open the "Network Configuration" screen that lists all the adapters and protocols installed on the computer. Select the wireless card from the list (it will have a green circuit board-like icon to the left of it) and click "Properties." A window like this will open:

Select the "Advanced" tab as shown above. Under the "Property" heading, either "Network Name," "SSID" or "ESSID"; (varies with brand) will be listed. Select the appropriate option and enter "guestlinx" (without the quotes, case-sensitive) for the value. Then click "OK" until the "Control Panel" appears again. If prompted to restart your computer at this point, please do so. After restarting, the wireless connection should be established. Open a Web browser and go to a public Web site, such as www.yahoo.com, to bring up the GuestLinX Welcome Page and complete the connection process.
