Been surfing on the topic of WPA-PSK with Windows 2000, and all I find are some dated articles. I thought I'd turn to this group to find the latest. Is there any freeware or inexpensive software that would enable WPA-PSK on my Win2K laptop. My desktop is running XP, and my Belkin Pre-N router and laptop card all support WPA-PSK. Thanks.
Look in 'Network Connections' - set the authentication protocol of your wifi card by right clicking on it > properties.
Regards.
Which wireless card are you using in your Win2k machine?
Have you checked to see if the wireless card for your laptop has updated drivers for your model? I know the Netgear 511T actually ships with support for WPA in Win2k.
Barring that -
Two realitively inexpensive WPA-PSK clients that come to mind for Win2k is the Odyssey client from Funk Software (~$50)
and/or
Aegis client from Meetinghouse
Windows 2000 doesn't support WPA. You will need a WPA supplicant.
Wireless Security Corporation (which, it seems, has recently been purchased by McAfee) provides a free WPA supplicant. I've used it -- works fine.
Yup, I set this up last night in 15 minutes. It was a snap and it works juts fine. Thanks for the pointer!!!!

So, the Linux WPA/WPA2/IEEE 802.1X Supplicant runs under Windows 2000 does it?
BTW: WTF is a 'supplicant' in this context?
