    I dont you can just 'get' a WEP key, and I think it depends on what kind of WEP...You'd be better off asking him for the Key and copying that long xx digits down on a piece of paper then entering it in your device.

    Altought I shouldn't speak about this here, a WEP key can be cracked under 1 minutes.
    If you neighbor is really kind enough to give you free internet access, just google "how to crack a wep key".
    Knowing Linux and not beeing a noob with a computer is a plus tho.
