Eircom Broadband and Lost WPA (please help)

    Hi,

    Recently got an xbox 360 and am trying to connect it to the internet/xbox live. However, it detects that my wireless connection has a WPA key. When we got wireless broadband installed in the house (by an eircom engineer) and set up on the laptop I only remember putting in a WEP key (which I still have), and not a WPA. I checked the properties of the connection on the laptop and it does use WPA-PSK network authentication. The network key is typed in and, of course, is just a load of astrixes.

    Is it possible that when the connection was set up using eircom's handy installation cd that it automatically set up WPA encryption, and if so where do I get the key? Or (more likely) did I type in the key at some stage, forget about it, lose it and slowly make my way up sh*t creek?

    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Who cares what it is - just connect to the admin interface of the Netopia and reset it to something new. Set up the XBox and the laptop with the new key.

    (The truely paranoid suggest that you should be changing your WPA key regularly anyway).
