    I'm trying to setup another computer on my network, but it's telling me my network connection is encrypted and I need a WEP or WPA key to connect my other computer. How do I find out what my WEP or WPA key is?

    Anyone? Would it be possible to disable encryption on the main PC, then connect to the network, and then enable the encryption? Or would I need the key to disable encryption?

    The wireless router you are trying to connect to has an encryption key, which can be accessed like a webpage, but you'll need to be connected to a wired computer first so you can see the key. For the specifics of where the WEP/WAP key is, check your router's manual.
