Sorry for being a techno-nerd, but I am an English teacher at a very small school who gets to dabble in technology because nobody else will.
Here's my problem. I installed DLink N access points. Have Compaq laptops with Win2K using Cisco cards. Is there a driver available for the Cisco cards that will allow me to do WPA-PSK? We used to use WEP, but the old access point was fried by lightening and replaced. I am stuck with the AP and need a solution for the cards ASAP. I don't see a selection in the setup so I am hoping there was a driver update.
Please HELP!!!!!!!!!

Hi Joe,
Have a look at the following tech note;
Q. Does the ACU support Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK)?
A. WPA provides a Pre-Shared Key version (WPA-PSK) that is intended for use in small office, home office (SOHO) or home wireless networks. ACU (Aironet Client Utility) does not support WPA-PSK. The Wireless Zero Configuration utility from Windows supports WPA-PSK for most wireless cards.

Thanks Rob. I'll try it at lunchtime.
At the very least, I know now that I am not losing my mind. If it works, guess I will just have to put up with the oddities of the WZC that I have read so much about.
Have a great day!
