My computer is conneted to the wireless network, but I need to see my WEP number to add another computer, I know that there is a way to view it, I just don't remember where it is!

start/run/ put in cmd in the text box/click OK
MS Dos screen opens
type in- ipconfig /all and hit enter
find the Default Gateway IP address- 192.168.0.1(something like that) For The Wireless Local Area Connection.
Open IE and erase the address bar, type in the Default Gateway IP address and hit the go button.
You will get a log in prompt from your router and must know the username/pwd to get in.
The routers are all different but you should be able to find them in the wireless settings area. Don't change them or you will drop your connection!
Best advice is to keep them written down somewhere safe like a notebook stored with your extra computer parts and cables.

you need to connect to your Wireless Access Point to find the WEP key in clear text. Most client systems mask the key.
