ok im trying to connect to my network the problem is my brother set it up i don't know the password and my brother for some reason no longer ANSWERS emails. While trying to connect to the network i have to choose from 3 encryption types and on 2 of them i have to choose from a 64 bit or 128 bit...something. and to make things worse the COMPUTER that has the modem and sends the signal is Win 2K SP4 and i cant find any sort of thing to help me find this encryption KEY it doesn't even know that its connected to a Netgear router. i have an idea on the password because i remember my brother told me when he made it but its only 6 characters long so theres another PART. how can i find the pass code and encryption TYPE? It is against forum policy to provide information which relates to the cracking of passwords.

You might try the ideas you have in mind.

I grant you, we don't know all the situation regarding your family, but one would think you have other ways of contacting your brother to obtain the password.
