wireless security code??

[Mandelon]

I have a laptop that needs to connect with my office network. Where do I look on my old laptop to find the security key so I can hook up my new one to the network???
Or is this not what I need to do???

You need to talk to the guys in the IT dept to get that setup - were tight about that stuff, but were a school district and don't want kids finding that stuff and trying to hack in all weekend... The should be able to help you out though.

Yeah Richard, talk to the owner of the company! :D

If you havent changed it, normaly the number is on the bottom of the router.

I found it before by looking for some settings, but I can't seem to find my way back there again...
I'm the IT guy. I'm also the HR person, and the light monitor, the property manger and the head janitor too! :D

If it is a "Home" network, wireless, the key is on the bottom of the router. You can look on your old computer by opening the router software enter your personel pasword to see the connection properties and the password or key should be there somewhere.

Try your phone number. My phone number was the password to connect my laptop to my home network.

Are you talking about a WEP key? That's not going to be written down anywhere on the router. It doesn't show anywhere in the properties either, it's basically a password. I think you're going to need to go into your router's setup 192.168.1.1 and generate a new WEP key.
Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding, we have a winner! :D
The wep/wpa key stored on your old laptop is unrecoverable, it becomes encrypted upon entry. You can get into your router with a hard wire connection, access the current wep/wpa key or create a new one.
Do this through internet explorer by connecting to the routers ip address through internet explorer i.e. http://192.168.1.1 <-this is the ip address 90% of the time, if it doesnt work go to start>run type in cmd when the 'dos' command prompt comes up type ipconfig then use the number for default gateway, this is the router's ip address. When you go to try and get into the router it will ask for a username/password this is usually leave the username blank and the password is admin or both are admin, or username admin no password, depending the mfg of router.

Once you get into the router with 192.168.1.1 (linksys) or 192.168.0.1 (dlink) the normal default password and username is admin. If you have a linksys and the pw has been changed, hold the power button down for 10 seconds, and it will clear out any changes from default.
