Linksys WRT54G & WPA Security

I have installed by WRT54g router and can communicate with my Sony laptop with built in wireless lan, using WEP.

However I would like to go to WPA security, but am totally confused over how to implement it.

If I select the WPA-Pre Shared Key option on the WRT54g, it asks for a WPA Shared Key, which is equivelent to a password. That much I understand and can enable it.

However on my laptop, I do not know how to set it up for this security. I know I can select WPA-PSK but there is nowhere to enter the password, which I assum that you do have to enter?

I have looked through the forums, but can see no info on this point, other than being told that it is a good idea to enable it!

Thanks

Gary
