I have several systems connected using cables to a wireless router and none of them need the WEP key. Only the laptop using a wireless card needs the WEP key. What is the actual problem you are having? If he has DHCP enabled on his router you should get an address, default gateway, and DNS settings that way. If not you will need to manually configure those things. Use the network tool to set things. You many need to manually edit the resolv.conf file to set the nameservers to your friends ISPs DNS servers. -- Scot L.
