Assuming XP Start, Connect to, Wireless Network connection. It will search for wireless networks. Yours will be BTHomeHub-xxxs (where xxxx is a number unique to your hub.) You can find that number printed on the back of your Home Hub. It's called it's SSID.

Click on that connection and it will ask for a number (WEP Key). That number is also printed on the back of your Home Hub. (Beware - DO NOT USE the BT Fusion numbers.)

BTW in future don't bother with that CD that BT give you. It';s a waste of time and disk space. If you need to configure your home use a browser and go to 192.168.1.254.

If you need more open a NEW question no this closed one.
