Problem:
I am having difficulty setting up Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) security and I am NOT using a Belkin client card for a home network�
solution:
If you are NOT using a Belkin WPA Wireless Desktop or Wireless Notebook Network Card and it 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:
http://www�microsoft�com/downloads/details�aspx?FamilyID=009d8425-ce2b-47a4-abec-274845dc9e91&displaylang=en
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
