Problem:
I am having difficulty setting up Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) security
and I am NOT using a Belkin Wireless Card for a home network
solution:
If you are not using a Belkin Wireless Desktop or Wireless Notebook
Network Card that 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 Download the patch
from Microsoft by searching the knowledge base for Windows XP WPA
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
