Hey guys. I got a wireless card for my laptop and it works, however I need to know the WEP key. My brother, who set up this wireless network, is currently out of the country so I can't ask him to help.
My dad's laptop has windows XP and is configured to use our wireless network. So it has our WEP key. Though after looking through the windows XP wireless config thing, I could only get it to show me the key in ****s and not characters. A guy on another forum says that it is possible to get it to show you the key, though.
How do I get the WEP key from windows XP, so I can put it into my other laptop and therefore connect it to the wireless network?
And before you tell me to check the wireless router for the key, I don't have the password for the wireless router either.
I would really appreciate help with this.
Thanks.
