Need help entering the password for my router...

ok so i recentley had to password protect my router. i sucessfuly put a password on it and got 3 other computers connected to the internet. the problem is each of the other computers had 3rd party software like a wireless utility configuration program. I used those on the other computers to enter the password for the router and get them connected, but my laptop came with the wireless card installed so i dont have any programs to let me enter the password, as far as i kno its just the default network stuff thats originally on a windows xp laptop. ive searched endlessly for a way to do this with just the windows stuff and had no luck so I did some searching on the internet and found this broadcam wireless utility program (this was also installed on one of the computers that worked) but nothing happens when i click on the exe for whatever reason, and thats the only one of those programs I could find. so what can i do to get connected to my router?

Look up your routers Admin IP Address. From that screen, you should be able to locate or generate a new WEP code, which is what I assume you are looking for. It'll look something like this...

192.168.100.1

For example, if you were using a Linksys router, just google Linksys Admin IP address. You'll also need to know the username/pass word, but those are the usual Admin/Admin deal. You'll be able to look those up as well.

Bah, I should have also mentioned that once you have that code, just enter it into your browser to access the page. Try looking underneath your router for the address/username/password as well.

You should have a small network icon with an X on it near the clock,,,left click on it then click on the option that says "connect to a network", it should then show your wireless router.

If that doesent work then make sure the wifi is switched on via a switch or something else...apart from that make sure your wireless driver is installed.

ok i had the code before and i did get past on my ipod so i kno its right, but your saying all i do is enter the code 2627Fxxxx for instance in the adress bar and it should go? cuz that didnt want to work.

And for what daytona said, thats like the first thing i tried actually and also what some tutorials said to do but nothing shows up. That also happened when i was connected to the router previously before the password so i kno the adapter or card or w/e is on. (and for proof i tried to repair the connection for the hell of it, it went thru all of it before it said it couldnt connect to the wirless network)

i dont believe i have a wifi switch either that or its hidden really good but i went under the properties for the realtek wireless lan thing and it said its enabled if that helps.

the closest thing to that is a key that you must hold down the Fn key to use that looks like (((O)))

it didnt seem to do anything tho
