Wireless Connection Problem

Hello,
I've just set up my Netgear WGT624 wireless router. The problem is that when I try to connect to it i'm asked for a User Name, Password and Domain Name, but I don't know what they are.
When I set it up it gave me a Passpharse and a WEP key, but they don't tie up with what it asks for.
If I try to use someone elses connection, I'm asked for a Security Key or Passpharse. Why doesn't it ask for that when I use mine?
Please help, Thanks, Simon.

>Domain Name
Is this a company PC for work use, if so its set to log in to a domain at work.
For home use you need a WORKGROUP or peer to peer setup. This is done by adding a new profile to the start up proceedure at power up time, ask your IT admin staff to help you.
Is it for home use only then it looks like someone has asked for a Domain log on and not Workgroup. Should be able to change, not sure exactly but look in the My Computer properties and in the Computer Name tab.

It is just for home use, I'll check the computer name tonight. Thanks for your help, Simon.0
