security on a Belkin client card (Wireless Network Card or Adapter)
for a business.

“Properties” button.

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.
