Not enough information to get focused help. Did you install XP using Boot
Camp, Parallels, or VMFusion? Or on a completely different computer and are
now trying to get wireless access? It is impossible to tell what you did
and what doesn't work from what you wrote. Remember that although things
are very clear in your mind, none of us can see your setup from here.

If you used Boot Camp, did you follow instructions and start the Boot Camp
Assistant from within Windows so you could install the drivers? If you
forgot to do this, this is your next step.

If you used Parallels or VMFusion, refer to their Help files to make sure
you set things up properly.

I don't know what "did a setup" means. To properly install drivers for your
XP installation, from within XP run Boot Camp Assistant. This will install
all the drivers, including those for the wireless network adapter. I'm
assuming you have Leopard since you say this is a new Mac. If this isn't a
brand-new Mac and you somehow have Tiger, then you need to create the
drivers CD from within OS X by running Boot Camp Assistant and run the CD
in Windows.

Once you have properly installed the drivers, your wireless network adapter
will work in Windows. You will, of course, still need to enter any
encryption key for the wireless network so you can connect and get on line.
The encryption key comes from the router when you set it up. If you have
forgotten the encryption method and key, go into the router's configuration
utility to see what is set there.
