Hi - I've been trying to add a new computer to my secure wireless network at
home, but I can't for the life of me remember what the network key is, so haven't been able to enter it on the new computer. What can I do to find my network key?? I've tried to get around this by creating a "new network" using my existing connection, and entering a new network key for this connection, but this doesn't work. Then, if I follow the Wireless Setup Wizard, it doesn't provide me with the "add computer to network" option: only the "set-up new network" option. Please help! Thanks very much Liam |

You still need the network key. Can't you logon to your router? That is
where you'll be able to see the secure key. Otherwise, if you can't logon to the router, you can reset the router and set it up again. "Jase" wrote: Hi there liam, What make is your Wireless Router?
