Click “OK, then “Apply” to save the settings. I am NOT using a
Belkin Wireless Card for a home network and I am having difficulty
setting up Wi-Fi 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
(Wi-Fi) 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
