I have a Microsoft 802.11g Wi-Fi network at home.

Is it possible to use both WPA & WEP on the same laptop
to connect to different Networks with different Security
systems at different times?

In other words can I use my Laptop with WPA on my Home
wireless network, and WEP while on the road on McDonald's
Wireless network?

Thanks,



Patrick
 
Yes, with XP, settings are stored for each connection. Use XP's native
wireless zero config to setup the home network with WPA as a preferred
network. When you are on the road, you can configure a new SSID with
WEP. Both will be saved.
