wireless security issue?

    Hey,
    I have a netgear wireless router and am using a 3com usb wireless dongle, and I have WEP security on the network.
    The problem is that if my connection drops for whatever reason and I try to reconnect with the 3com software, I have to re-enter the WEP code to get back on, it's a bit of a pain to be honest. Is there anything I'm missing that will allow me to save the details on the computer rather than having to keep it on a piece of paper beside the laptop, which I'm sure to lose.

    Thanks

    Which Operating System are you using?

    Resoning: If it's XP, it should store the key..
    I'm not familiar with Office Connect(?)

    yeah, it's XP.
    It is officeconnect I use. It seems to remember the key alright, when I turn the computer on first it automatically finds the network and logs on, but if it gets disconnected and I decide to prompt the software to reconnect I need the key, either that or I have to wait around until the software finds the connection itself, which can take a bit of time.

    Use Windows' built-in wireless? Use WZC + the option to 'Connect when in range' or Repair should prevent you needing to use the WEP key *shrug* I think it's part of the IEEE spec./implementation ...
