Dear all,
How does one get a KEY to a secured network that could be WEP/WPA?
Why we had a unsecured wireless network at school and I could
connect with a laptop. Everything got configured automatically, now,
the computer does not connect automatically. It is asking for a KEY
and I do not know the key. The Network Administrator is hard to
find/on vacation. Is there a way easy/hard to find the key so that I
can connect to this network?
TIA,
Antonio
Depending on the setup, you may be able to make a wired connection to
the wireless router, and get the key from one of the status pages. You
can also find out if it is using WPA or WEP at the same time.
Why can't the wireless key be found from some other laptop that's using
the network. If this is a school, and you are a teacher (I'm talking
about Antonio here), then another teacher must have configured the
wireless key on their laptop, no? If not, then maybe the woreless isn;t
for the teachers?
The only way this won't work is if the router is also doing MAC
filtering in addition to the wireless key. (Even then, there are ways
around that too, but beyond what I said above, we're talking about
hacking, which some in the administration may frown upon....)
