I enjoyed the Feb 15th "Configuring Wireless Network Security" written by Ben in Security. Ben explained how to drill down to the 'Security' tab and select 'properties'. The article says to enter a long password. However, there is already an 8 byte 'Network security Key' magically assigned. I am connecting via a D-Link adptor to my main computer in another room. How was this key/password assigned and, can/should I change this? When I set up my wireless connection, I had to enter my routers 'pre-shared key'. It is far larger than 8 bytes. Can you point me to further information on the 'Network security Key' found under the 'properties' of the 'Security' tab? If posible, I would like additional information.
