Problem:

I am NOT using a Belkin client card and I am having difficulty setting up Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) security for a home network.

Solution:

If you are NOT using a Belkin 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:

www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=009d8425- ce2b-47a4-abcc-2748dc9e91diplaylang=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

Enabling WPA-PSK (no server):

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 selected.

3.Under the “Wireless Networks” tab, click the “Configure” button.

4.For a home or small business user, select “WPA-PSK” under “Network Administration”.
