WPA-PSK password in WinXP

[JP5]

Whenever I lose my 802.11g signal, Windows XP reacquires the signal a few seconds later, but wants me to hit "OK" to reconnect. Is there some way to make it connect automatically?

I think you need to deactivate your IEEE 802.1x security in Windows XP. This is turned on by default in XP and does not hurt wired networking but does have a negative affect on wireless connections.

To turn it off:

Go to your Network Connections - numerous ways to get there, but it's in the Control Panel. Highlight your wireless connection and click on Properties. Click on the Authentication tab. Uncheck the "Enable IEEE 802.1x authentication for this network" box.

Good luck! Let us know if this fixes your problem.

Sorry, I was busy and put my previous message in the wrong thread. I don't think that my suggestion helped your problem!

I downloaded that WinXP WPA patch and now it seems to be working better!
