having difficulty setting up Wireless Protected access (WPa)

security�
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’s 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

Under Windows XP, click “Start > Control Panel > Network

Connections” .

wireless network settings” check box is checked . [need image]

connect to a corporate network that supports an authentication server

such as a radius server . Please consult your network administrator for

further information .

Select “TKIP” or “AES” under “Date Encryption” . This setting will

have to be identical to the Router that you set up .

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 .
