Tried to connect my Palm to the network via wifi. Now my wireless network
does not respond to the key. I can not log onto the network. Perchance have
I altered the key? How can I retrieve the key or repair the functionality of
my system?

Hi
The deciding encryption key is in the Wireless Router.
Log to the Router make a new key, and type this key into your wireless
devices.
How? It depends on the make and model, you need to read the instructions
that are written in your devices' manuals.
In general
From the weakest to the strongest, Wireless security capacity is.
No Security
MAC
WEP
WPA-PSK
WPA-AES
WPA2
The documentation of your Wireless devices (Wireless Router, and Wireless
Computers Card) should state the type of security that is available with
your Wireless hardware.
All devices MUST be set to the same security level using the same pass
phrase.
Therefore the security must be set according what ever is the best possible
of one of the Wireless devices.
I.e. even if most of your system might be capable to be configured to the
max. with WPA2, but one device is only capable to be configured to max . of
WEP, to whole system must be configured to WEP.
If you need more good security and one device (like a Wireless card that can
do WEP only) is holding better security for the whole Network, replace the
device with a better one.

re-reading the OP's post, I'd say WZC has taken over? Can't change by
itself?
