Special considerations for Windows XP

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption is not

enabled on the wireless access point.

When you install a wireless access point device, Windows XP
checks whether WEP encryption is enabled on the device. If
it is not enabled, Windows XP adds the device to its list of
available wireless networks, but does not create a wireless
connection using the device, since the connection would not
be secure. You can still, howe ver, use the access point. To use
an access point without WEP encryption, follow these steps:
❖Right-click the Wireless Network icon in the System
Tray (far-right portion of the Windows Taskbar).
❖Click View Available Wireless Networks.
❖Select Allow me to connect to the selected wireless
network, even though it is not secure.
❖Windows XP will now try to establish a wireless
connection.

The Windows XP wireless management facility does not

work.

If you are using an external Wi-Fi adapter (a PC Card, USB
adapter, or other variety), check to see if the adapter comes
with its own management utility. If it does, the utility may be
disabling the Windows XP wireless management facility, in
which case you must use the adapter's management utility. If
the documentation that accompanies the adapter does not
provide enough information to determine if this is the case,
contact that vendor's support group for further advice.
