network key (wep)

Expand Post »

Hey, I have a wireless network in my house, connecting my desktops. I just bought a new laptop, and I want to conect to the network, but I dont know the network key. Is there any way to find this key on one of my already-networked desktops?

Don't quote me on this but it think not ,i believe if you didn't write it down you will need to reset router and reinstall the softwear and set the Wep again and get new # ,write it down this time .

If you use a RJ45 Cable, you can connect, and enter a new one.

You should have received one in the box with the other stuff.
