[Gonzo]

How can I get the WPA2 as a wireless option on my Windows XP SP2 laptop?

Hi,

To WPA2 you need hotfix for Windows XP:

The level of encryption available depends on the driver for the
wireless receiver built into the PC (presuming it is built-in and not
an external dongle). In either case, check with the manufacturer of
the wifi device for a driver upgrade that is capable of WPA2.

You can't unless your WLAN driver supports that feature *and* having the
update KB917021 installed, replacing the obsolete update KB893357.

The WLAN do support WPA2, so I only need KB917021?

No improvement since that domain belongs to CrystalTech Web Hosting Inc.,

any mail address!

The WLAN do support WPA2,

The WLAN *driver* and the WLAN hardware have to support WPA2.

so I only need KB917021?

Yes. "The Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2)/Wireless Provisioning Services
Information Element (WPS IE) update for Windows XP with Service Pack 2
is available" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/893357/en-us

"Description of the Wireless Client Update for Windows XP with Service
Pack 2" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917021/en-us (excerpt)

| This update replaces hotfix 893357.

As said earlier the WLAN drive does support WPA2.

KB917021 it is then.

 

[Gonzo]

Apparently KB917021 replaced KB893357 why keep KB893357 then to download?

I had downloaded the hotfix 893357 to my Windows partition of bootcamp on my
Mac Pro, it senses the wireless connection "as excellent" but I can not
connect to the internet. Would the hotfix 917021 resolve this problem? I had
searched the Microsoft website yesterday and was directed to 893357. I have
validated the Windows XP, had 79 updated downloads to do first before
installing. Could it be in the 'Internet options' on the tool bar that is
affecting this..can anyone help me?
