The guy is on vacation, A teacher needs to connect to the network to teach a lesson. Nothing illegal or bad. Otherwise I would not ask this question. I do not want to use unauthorized network without permission. I can ask permission from Administration, but the guy that knows the key is not here. If there is no way to do it, then I rest my case! The person can die and then the key is lost to the network. There has to be a way to do it. The computer could access the network before. it was set up by wireless dhcp, but now someone who manages the network put a key and many users(teachers) cannot access the internet. The person that takes care of that is on vacation. Is there a way or not?
That is all that I am asking.
Thanks,
Antonio
