Adding a New Labtop Cant Find WEP Key

I just got a new labtop with 802.11 built into it. It
recognizes the my MS Broadband network but I forgot that I
had encrypted the network when I set it up and dont know
where to find the WEP or WPA key.

Can I find that somewhere on my connected laptop?

Any suggestions on how to overcome this problem would be
greatly appreciated! Thanks. - Rich

You need to look in the settings of your base station.

Open your browser and type the IP address (default is 192.168.2.1, unless
you changed it) in the address line. Unless you changed the password, it is
"admin" without the quotes. The settings are described in the User's Guide.
