WPA problems

Krakje · 09-28-2006, 02:54 AM

I've 2 notebooks and 1 of them is just new, the other is 2 years old. Now i try to get them on the wireles network and it's working. Now i put WPA security on my router (the new notebook only can have wpa) and the old notebook only can have WEP. I saw on microsofts website that WPA is basiclly in SP2. Now the new has SP2 from when i bought it. The older was SP1 what i updated to SP2 months ago.

I tried to find a tool to add WPA to the old one but couldn't find one. Now i hope someone here can give me a link to the tool i need or is it that the SP2 isn't installed succesfull?. Or can tell me what i need to do.

Thanks a lot
btw i use XP :p (what you knewed already)

What model (and make) are the wireless cards. The wireless card must also be able to support WPA.

See if this is an updated driver ... http://www1.medion.de/downloads/inde...reiber&lang=us

There does appear to be an issue with WPA on that wireless adapter. If this is not an updated driver I would probably just use the WEP encryption as that should be supported by both notebooks.
