I am a part of a small business and when we set up our internet we hired some
jacko to come out and do it for cheap. Only problem is he never left us the
network keys he used to set up each computer's access to the network. Now he
has disappeared and I can't get one of the computers logged back in due to
the lack of a key. Is there any way that I can find that being that the other
computers are connected to the network already? Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

What do you mean "key"? Do you mean password or a wireless encryption
key? If the latter, go to the router's configuration screen and look at
the wireless encryption settings. You will see your key in there.
Normally you would access the router's configuration by typing its name
in a browser's addressbar. Refer to router documentation for more
details.

What do you mean by "Network Key?" Are you talking about wireless
encryption?
