Problem:
I am having difficulty setting up Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) security and I am
NOT using a Belkin Wireless Card for a home network.
Solution:
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 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
Enabling WPA-PSK (no server)
1. Under Windows XP, click "Start > Control Panel > Network Connections".
