Troubleshooting
I am NOT using a Belkin client card for a home network and
I am having difficulty setting up Wireless Protected Access
(WPA) security.
If you are not using a Belkin Wireless Desktop or Wireless Notebook
Network Card that is not equipped with WPA-enabled software, a
file from Microsoft called "Windows XP Support Patch for Wireless
Protected Access" is available for free download. Download the
patch from Microsoft by searching the knowledge base for Windows
XP WPA.
Note:
The file that Microsoft has made available works only with
Windows XP. Other operating systems are not supported at this
time. You also need to ensure that the wireless card's manufacturer
supports WPA and that you have downloaded and installed the latest
driver from their support site.
Supported Operating Systems:
• Windows XP Professional
• Windows XP Home Edition
1.
Under Windows XP, click "Start > Control Panel >
Network Connections".
2.
Right-click on the "Wireless Networks" tab. Ensure the "Use
Windows to configure my wireless network settings" check
box is checked.
3.
Under the "Wireless Networks" tab, click the "Configure".
4.
For a home or small business user, select "WPA-PSK" under
"Network Administration".
Note:
Select WPA (with radius server) if you are using this computer
to connect to a corporate network that supports an authentication
server such as a radius server. Please consult your network
administrator for further information.
5.
Select "TKIP" or "AES" under "Date Encryption". This setting will
have to be identical to the Router that you set up.
6.
Type in your encryption key in the "Network key" box.
Important:
Enter your pre-shared key. This can be from eight to 63
characters and can be letters, numbers, or symbols. This same key
must be used on all of the clients that you set up.
7.
Click "OK" to apply settings.
