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�

Enabling WPA-PSK

1. in systems running Windows XP, click “start > Control Panel >

Network Connections”�

2. right-click on the “Wireless Networks” tab� The “Wireless Network

Connection Properties” screen appears� ensure the “Use Windows

to configure my wireless network settings” box is checked�

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

you will see the client card properties screen�

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

“Network Administration”�

5. select “TKiP” or “Aes” under “Date encryption”� This setting will

have to be identical to the G Wireless router or access point that

you set up�

6. Type in your encryption key in the “Network key” box�
important: enter your pre-shared key� This can be from eight to 63

characters and can be letters, numbers, or symbols� This same key must

be used on all of the clients that you set up�

7. Click “OK” to apply settings�

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:
