WPA/WEP key...how to find it?

You can try unplugging the router and plugging it back in or restarting your laptop. Sometimes that helps.

yeah, sometimes it helps to throw it across the room and shoot it with a 12ga too...im almost there

stuff like this makes me want to take computer classes, so I can not just know but understand. heck, if i was installing a stereo in a car and I couldnt explain what, why, and how everything worked, id go crazy.

sounds like you might be 'connected' to the network, but you don't have the right encryption key set on the laptop. So it won't allow anything to pass. Basically you need the same 'key' on the laptop that is set on the router.

Usually to get into an admin screen of the router type this into your address bar
