You don't need to "find" your WEP key, you're the one that's supposed to make it up.

lol what the fuck

a wep key is used to encrypt our wireless internet access VIA A ROUTER.

you set it up in your router configuration utility located at 192.168.x.x or something similar

what do you need it for exactly?

Well aside from all other irrelavant info I "obtained" a laptop, but when I try to get "connection" at my house it says somethiing like a network cable is unplugged. Enter the WEP key to continue.

Yeah. WEP key is supplied by the admin of the router, it's like a password so that joe blow can't park outside your house and use your internet connection.

Wait, nevermind.

So is it physically "on" my router, or not. And if not how would I "find" it because I have no idea what it would be

You have to access it through a computer connected to the router, and then you change it from there.

What kind of router do you have? Linksys?

and you're trying to connect wirelessly from ur laptop right?

go to a computer physically (with a wire) connected to your router

type 192.168.1.1 into your "preferred internet browser"
type ur pass
click wireless at the top
click wireless security under where you just clicked wireless
it will show you 4 WEP keys all of which should work
type one of them (first one is what i use) into ur laptop where it asks for it
