i am not being prompted to enter a password when i try to connect. the "wireless network connection" window lists the available networks. it shows mine as being security-enabled. i try to connect and it simply says "not-connected."

it never asks for a password.

Running XP or Vista? It matters when trying to find where to enter the key.

Also, Windows may not be managing your wireless connection. It's pretty common practice these days for manufacturers to install 3rd party software that manages your wireless connection. A common one is Intel PROSet, you might try looking your Start Menu and seeing if you can find that or something similar to it. If something like Intel PROSet is managing your connection, you would be able to enter the key there.

It’s in the properties of your network connection. You know all of this should be in the documentation of your router.

Was a bad password key entered inadvertently on laptop?

Do you even know the password key?

Start at beginning with your router’s CD
