XP PRO--Setting up a network connection-Problem with passphrase
I've set up a network connection for XP before but why do I receive an error
message about the length of the encrypted pass phrase when I try to logon to a secure network from a laptop that has XP PRO??? All of the other users on the home network can access it using XP Home... =?Utf-8?B?VG9ueSBW?= |

This has nothing to do with your operating system. Either your laptop's wireless hardware can't use the encryption scheme you've set on the router or you are entering it incorrectly. Since you didn't give us any details about your wireless hardware, that's as specific as I can get.

Re: XP PRO--Setting up a network connection-Problem with passphras
I couldn't upgrade the internal wireless adapter to use WPA-2 because it was
too old. So I did the following: - updated the laptop with the Microsoft patch for WPA - disabled the internal wireless adapter - bought an external wireless card and installed it Everything is fine now. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

RE: XP PRO--Setting up a network connection-Problem with passphrase
The internal wireless adapter was too old to update--no drivers available--so
I did the following: - Disabled the internal wireless adpter - Updated the laptop with the latest Microsoft WPA patch - Installed an external wireless card Everything is fine now--Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!!
