How to set WPA-PSK security on a wireless network

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

I have read Barb Bowman's article and listened to the wecast - great stuff -
however, my D-Link 524 router (which does support WPA) doesn't have a USB
port to facilitate the method described. I'd be very grateful for any advice
on how to set WPA or WPA-PSK for my small network (PC, Laptop and router).
Cheers.

Many thanks for your extremely quick advice. Has added to my learning and
will help solve my problem. The kurtm site was also extremely useful.

Again, huge thanks. Cheers, MR
