Try this - get your old style settings view and you can do it pretty much
the same as you could in XP:

I thought WPA means Windows Product Activation, what does it have to do with
creating a shortcut to Network on the desktop?
You can launch WPA, by clicking Start > Control Panel > System > under
Activation > click Change product key
This will relaunch the Activation Wizard allowing you to change your product
key and activation Windows again.

Then why do I remember "WPA" stamped on sidewalks, with
(now) 70-year-old timestamps? If this is Wi-Fi WPA, then
no doubt it will. Lots of older stuff out there that
won't, however, and if you go WPA* then everything has to
be WPA. Most radio network cameras, for example, that
you but today only do WEP. That'll never work on a WPA-
enabled AP/network.

Your tip refers to WEP - Wireless Equivolency Protocol

It's more like,
WEP - as secure as a graham cracker life raft.
WPA - faster to crack than WEP now.
WPA2 - somewhat secure...for now.
D
Derek R. Flickinger
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) - False security, but better than nothing.
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) - Secure.
WPA2 - The best for now.
Note that many wireless devices in the home will not support WPA (or WPA2),
so one needs to figure out security versus convenience - or use two wireless
Access Points and limiting the functionality of the WEP-based network. A
quick overview of the terms is available at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_Protected_Access.

Ok, this is how WPA works in Windows Vista, depending on what your Wireless
device supports, Windows Vista will default to the strongest available:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/itsolutions/network/evaluate/new_network.mspx
"Quote:
"Configuration wizard defaults to highest security supported by the wireless
network adapter The Wireless Network Setup Wizard in Windows Server
"Longhorn" and Windows Vista retrieves the security capabilities of the
wireless network adapter and recommends the use of the strongest security
that is supported by the wireless network adapter. For example, if a
wireless network adapter supports both Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), the Wireless Network Setup Wizard will default
to configuring settings for WPA."
So, to access WPA, Click Start > Network > Connect to a Network > click in
the "Show" list box > select Wireless, follow the wizard, it should
automatically detect it though. I don't have Wireless setup, so I can't
fully guide you through the steps:
Here is some more:
The wireless Group Policy settings in Windows Server "Longhorn" and Windows
Vista allow you to configure lists of allowed and denied wireless network
names. With an allow list, you can specify the set of wireless networks by
name (SSID) to which the Windows Server "Longhorn" or Windows Vista wireless
client is allowed to connect. This is useful for network administrators that
want an organization's laptop computer to connect to a specific set of
wireless networks, which might include the organization's wireless network
and wireless Internet service providers. With a deny list, you can specify
the set of wireless networks by name to which the wireless client is not
allowed to connect. This is useful to prevent managed laptop computers from
connecting to other wireless networks that are within range of the
organization's wireless network (such as when an organization occupies a
floor of a building and there are other wireless networks of other
organization on adjoining floors) or to prevent managed laptop computers
from connecting to known unsecured wireless networks.
I hope this helps.

That (having both WEP and WPA networks) is like
putting in a screen-door, with the little spring-

I'm guessing a "little spring-clip/hook-to-lock thing" is something you'd
only find in America?
I'm in the middle of the forest in England - I've never heard of one of
