Special considerations for Windows XP
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption is not
enabled on the wireless access point.
When you install a wireless access point device, Windows XP
checks whether WEP encryption is enabled on the device. If
it is not enabled, Windows XP adds the device to its list of
available wireless networks, but does not create a wireless
connection using the device, since the connection would not
be secure. You can still, however, use the access point. To use
an access point without WEP encryption, follow these steps:
❖ Right-click the Wireless Network icon in the System
Tray (far-right portion of the Windows Taskbar).
❖ Click View Available Wireless Networks.
❖ Select Allow me to connect to the selected wireless
network, even though it is not secure.
❖ Windows XP will now try to establish a wireless
connection.
The Windows XP wireless management facility does not
work.
If you are using an external Wi-Fi adapter (a PC Card, USB
adapter, or other variety), check if the adapter comes with its
own management utility. If it does, the utility may be
disabling the Windows XP wireless management facility, in
which case you must use the adapter's management utility. If
the documentation that accompanies the adapter does not
provide enough information to determine if this is the case,
contact that vendor's support group for further advice.
