Windows desktop won't communicate with Time Capsule when using WPA/WPA2

[IncreaseMather]

I've been reading some of the past threads, but I'm still suffering here.

My Windows XP desktop will connect flawlessly to my Time Capsule when I turn off all wireless security. I am even able to use Airport Utility on the desktop to change the wireless security to WPA/WPA2 Personal.

However, it is never able to connect wirelessly to the Time Capsule when WPA/WPA2 Personal is being utilized. The Airport Utility cannot locate the Time Capsule when WPA/WPA2 Personal is utilized.

Any suggestions? What's wrong with my Desktop (other than the fact that it's Windows)

Thanks a ton!

Is your XP machine updated to Service Pack 2 or Service Pack 3? XP vanilla and XP Service Pack 1 prefer WEP or no security.

Right click My Computer, go to Properties, it should be in the General tab along with your processor, memory specs.

Do you have the latest drivers for your wireless card on the XP machine?

Latest drivers? I guess not. I haven't updated anything with my wireless card since I installed it a while ago. Would their website list the required drivers?

I'm using a D-Link AirPlus G DWL-G510 Wireless card.

Can you tell that I'm an EXTREME newbie?

There used to be a small file you could download from Microsoft that set up the WPA/2 algorithm on XP machines. Sorry but I don't have a link. I'd say go to Microsoft.com's support and type in WPA2 and see what comes up.

Thanks for the suggestion. I downloaded it and tried to run it, but I got a Setup Error message. It says that I currently have a Service Pack version newer than this one.

Would you suggest I use the "Driver Robot" program to update my D-Link drivers? I've never heard of this before. Can I trust it?

No no... just goto DLink's website and download the one specific to your card.

Thats an old card that's been end-of-life'd by dlink. There's a chance that even the most updated driver for it won't support WPA.

Here's the link to d-links support for it:
