Retrieving your saved wireless network key from Wireless zero config

[MooCow]

Well I'm trying to switch over from Windows Wireless zero config to my Intel Proset wireless application and I'm wondering if I can somehow retrieve the network key saved in Wireless zero config? No I'm not trying to be malicious in anyway, its just that the network key that I thought I had remembered is not working in the Intel Proset wireless config, it won't connect and I want to make sure I have the password right, as it seems that the last thing I could point the finger to is WPA-TKIP is configured on my wireless router and the authentication type is not the same in Intel Proset.. but it is set. So to get to the point, I need a way, possibly an application that can retrieve my wireless key locally... this is for convience sake, again, I'm not trying cause network abuse.

hope this doesn't break rules, if so sorry.

download aircrack (homepage down) http://www2.packetstormsecurity.org...crack&type=archives&[search].x=0&[search].y=0 and in a subfolder (win32) there will be a program called wzcook, run that and it will pull out the wep key

I was about to mention that, I tried it before but no result. But I'll give it a try again, now.

also, why not just log in to the router on a wired connection?

I can do that on another PC, and I can change the key if I want to, but then I'd have to change the keys with the other wireless PC's around and I'm not about to do that just yet...
