I'm trying to connect my brothers pc to run off my internet. I know nothing about this stuff.
I have my laptop working and now he wants his also. I hooked up a wireless USB device (that was used on the laptop but not needed now) to his and it detected.
I get the box saying

"The network '2wire052' requires a network key (also called a WEP key or WPA key).
Type the key and click connect"

Thing is I cant remember where to find my key on my computer. it seems to just need this key number. Where would I look for it?
