Network KeyCan someone please help me & tell me where I might find the Network Key for
my wireless connection; I didn't make a note of it on set-up! Duh! Thanks I suggest you create a new key and use "Windows Connect Now" (WCN) to save
it off to a flash drive for easy reconfiguration just in case you need it in the future. I use WCN to configure my wireless LAN.

disable the wireless. Log into the router webserver web pages find the network key and then disco the eth cable and try and setup the WEP again.

I am not sure which one of the Wireless variable you call Network Key? Make sure that you have the Wireless Router's manual, in the manual there would be a reference to the default settings. Hard Reset the Router (see the manul instructions) it would set the device to the default settins, then you can configure it again. My New Wireless does not work - http://www.ezlan.net/wireless.html Wireless - Basic Configuration: http://www.ezlan.net/Wireless_Config.html Wireless Security - http://www.ezlan.net/Wireless_Security.html Jack (MVP-Networking).
