SSID is actually NOT on a computer, rather it is on a WAP (wireless access point)...
If you have a wireless network card installed in your computer use "Network Stumbler" to view the SSIDs in range of your PC...

===============================
SSID: Short for service set identifier, a 32-character unique identifier attached to the header of packets sent over a WLAN that acts as a password when a mobile device tries to connect to the BSS. The SSID differentiates one WLAN from another, so all access points and all devices attempting to connect to a specific WLAN must use the same SSID. A device will not be permitted to join the BSS unless it can provide the unique SSID. Because an SSID can be sniffed in plain text from a packet it does not supply any security to the network.
An SSID is also referred to as a network name because essentially it is a name that identifies a wireless network.
