You can copy it from your router's configuration screen> WEP key in Vista? or use this easy, free utility from Nirsoft: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/wireless_key.html The wireless network manager in Vista will let you know that there are available wireless networks. Find yours and when you try to connect it will ask you for the key. Paste it in. Some OEM wireless network managers have a place where you can set Profiles, too. You will have to look at what you've got installed. Malke On Tue, 30 Sep 2008 16:43:23 -0400, "Patrick Whittle"
