OK thanks for that.

Am I right in thinking that if I do this, though, the next time that PC is connected to the router and the WPA code entered manually, it'll just be stored again? Is there a way to prevent the key being automatically stored in the first place? When I checked out "Manage Wireless Networks" on the computer I'm using now, it lists my router/network and states the mode is "Connect Automatically". I'm thinking this is the problem but can't find a way to change the mode. What I'm wanting to do is to be able to control internet access via the other machine by requiring the key to be entered manually each time a connection is attempted. I'm not wanting to control access to the machine itself.

Many thanks.
