This isn't my network, it's a co-worker's so I'd thought I'd ask this question because I don't know how to get the WEP key.

First of all, I don't run a wireless network so I have very little experience with one. The printer is asking for a WEP key and no one seems to know it in the network. I was wondering if there was anyway to retreive it or should a new one be entered in?

If WEP is enabled it will be maintained at the Access Point. Or I suppose if your running the clients in an Ad Hoc environment then the WEP would be entered manually at each client.

And thats why you cant access it... Its not yours to access. If the admin wanted you on the machine you would have the WEP key.

PLONK!
