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

Enabling WPA-PSK (no server)

1.

Under Windows XP, click “Start > Control Panel > Network Connections”.

2.

Right-clicking on the “Wireless Networks” tab will display the following screen.
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 following screen.

4.

For a home or small business user, select “WPA-PSK” under “Network
Administration”.

Note:

Select WPA (with radius server) if you are using this computer to connect

to a corporate network that supports an authentication server such as a radius
server. Please consult your network administrator for further information.
