Am I crazy? Cannot secure my wireless network.I have a wireless network and attempted to secure my internet connection, but
was unable to do so. I followed the steps, setting it up on my labtop and copying the connection to my flash drive. I go to my wireless access point (a Linkseys wireless broadband phone etc.) and it has no USB port. Do I have to get a new router? or can I do something else. No, just copy-n-paste the WPA/WEP key to the router... If you forgot what it
is open up the \Smrtntky\Wsetting.txt file on the flash drive and copy the key from there... http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/columns/cableguy/cg0604.mspx#EJCAC FWIW I have to do the same thing since my old Buffalo WBR-G54 wireless access point/router also does not have a USB port... -- Show quoteHide quoteAl Jarvi (MS-MVP Windows Networking) Please post *ALL* questions and replies to the news group for the mutual benefit of all of us...

Using the Routers web interface (look at the manual), set the security on the Router first. Copy the Security string and paste it to the Wireless Client. This page describes the principle, http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/expert/bowman_03july28.mspx Jack (MVP-Networking).
