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/search�aspx?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
Wireless G Router
