WPA is it harware or software dependent?
You need 802.11g hw that supports it, a patch from MS for the XP, and then
you have to set up the interface between the various components. This article by an MS MVP should help you understand the setup: http://www.microsoft.com/WindowsXP/e...3october13.asp "DumbQ" wrote in message ... My PC running XP home edition does not show the WPA option when setting up wireless networking. Only WEP is an option. Is this caused by the network adapter not supporting WPA or XP needs a patch of some sort? |
