upgarde WEP to WPA2 on laptop with XP Pro SP2

[Kyle]

I have an old P3 500 Toshiba laptop. It has built in wireless card but only supports WEP. I have just purchased a new router that supports WPA2. I don't really want to lower the security level to WEP.

Can this be change by a KB patch, Driver Update etc?

I sem to remember once ready about a XP SP2 pathc released that woul ddo this but not sure?


Can this be done?

either go to the manufacture and see what updates their is or replace the card

If you post back with the make and model of the wireless card ( there may be a firmware update possibly )

[Kyle]

NO updates on Toshiba site for Wireless Lan driver,


More expense i suppose with a card.

If its a tosh mini card, you wont be able to get a firmware update and will end up having to by a adapter as they do not support the new wirleess security there is a patch from microsoft to enaable it though if the card supports it

Are you using the Tosh software?

I tend to use the windows software only, but stick only stick drivers on.

There is the only driver form 2002 on Toshibas website.
