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:

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
