Windows 2000 Professional and WPA

[bjc112]

I know it ( WPA security ) typically requires a XP machine along with SP1.

Any way around this in Windows 2000?

There is no wpa in Windows 2000.

You just enter the serial key and it works.

Activation on Windows was only brought in with XP.

Nope. You don't know what I am talking about.

WPA is wireless security. Not WIndows Activation

Ah, my bad.

My Dell wireless card included WPA support in its Windows 2000 drivers. Your card's manufacturer may do the same.

No one running WPA wireless security under 2000 professional?

 

[MrChad]

What wireless card do you have?

 

[bjc112]

MN-720

Shouldn't really matter as long as my router supports it..
Right?

 

[MrChad]

How about this?

Yeah, I had it running in Win2k. Just buy a Linksys card and you will have WEP security.

He doesn't want WEP, he wants WPA.

Thanks for the link MrChad. I had recently bought XP Home from BestBuy so that I could start using WPA with one of my wireless comps. Now, I can save that license for later.
