Linksys WRT54G WPA problem...

Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

Are you using SP2? Is the router broadcasting its SSID? Are you using
Linksys' wireless utility to connect or XP's built-in wireless service?
Does your passphrase contain non-alphanumeric characters (this is not
supposed to matter)?

BTW: For testing WEP to WPA-PSK migrations, it helps to change the SSID of
the router so that XP remembers the WEP key under the old SSID in case
things do not work with WPA.
