Im installing a wireless network at home, ive got the gateway set up for WPA-2, my new laptop with vista connects just fine. Now im trying to configure an older laptop that has XP.
The closest option I find listed on the older laptop is WPA with AES, I enable this and include the key but it doesnt connect. I tried to install a patch that I found, but xp said it was an older version then what was installed... so i declined.
I didnt know if WPA2 would be backwards compatable with WPA
The gateway originally came set up for WEP and both laptops connected fine, but I was afraid of WEP.
errr where do I go from here LOL, Im pretty sure I need some kind of WPA2 patch, but im not sure... and if so can ya gimme a link
(first time setting one up)
hmmm can it be a driver issue on the older laptop?...
Thanks in advance,
Av
