Hi Chocolate,

Ask whoever (or you) set up the wireless network, as they selected either WEP or WPA in the security options, and created a security key..

Once you have the key enter it exactly in your Vaio..:smileyhappy:

The network key has something in it but is coming up as ........ where do i get the exact name of key.Sorry ifthis sounds silly but tried everything and can't seem to get the network key

[chocolate]

Security-enabled wireless network(WPA)
This network requires a network key. This is what's coming up.

Hi chocolate,

Scroll down to page and look at the example instructions on 'How to Configure WPA-PSK for Your Router or Access Point' and then on 'How to Configure WPA-PSK on Windows XP' on this link

What make router are you trying to connect to and did you set this up yourself or are you sharing access with other users..:smileyconfused:

When you select an available Wireless Network in the wireless connection window from the list.. (see an example below)


Who's network are you trying to connect to..:smileyconfused:

Is this your network or is it a neighbours?

If it is your network then you will have to check the documentation that came with your router to find out how to change or view the network key.
