If you're on BT broadband its on a sticker on your router. Maybe for others, too.

*geek disclaimer - had the same problem this week and a fella at girlfriend's office knew that despite not having BT broadband.

(I reckon) if you log in to your router setup page it should be listed there

on XP it's: start - run - (then you type) cmd - (next you type) ipconfig

the "default gateway" is your router - stick that numerical address intyour browser's address line and it should go to setup (may need a password)

its worth mentioning that wep is very easy to hack. if you can, use wpa2 if your hard/software supports it

Or at least change the WEP key (which is a password) from the default one the router came with.
