Using the Wireless Zero Configuration Service for WPA-PSK

Advanced Security

You can have very strong security on your wireless connection by enabling WPA-PSK. For more

information on wireless security, see “Wireless Networking Overview” on page B-1.

Wireless client programs must be updated to permit the configuration of WPA authentication (and

preshared key) and the new WPA encryption algorithms (TKIP and the optional AES component).

For wireless clients that are running Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1) or Windows Server 2003

and that are using a wireless network adapter that supports the Wireless Zero Configuration

service, you must obtain and install the Windows WPA Client. For wireless clients that are running

Windows XP service pack 2 (SP2) and that are using a wireless network adapter that supports the

Wireless Zero Configuration service, the Windows WPA Client is included in Windows XP SP2.

Therefore, additional downloads are not needed. The Windows WPA Client updates the wireless

network configuration dialog boxes to support new WPA options.

For additional information and to obtain the WPA client program, click the article number 826942

to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base. Wireless update rollup package for Windows

XP is available.
