XP and Airport Networking

This is a discussion about XP and Airport Networking in the Windows Networking category; I am an educator with a wireless (Linksys PCMCIA card)PC. I have successfully configured my Toshiba laptop with an airport (MAC) wireless network at my school. It works great with a range equal to the ibooks in our department.

I am an educator with a wireless (Linksys PCMCIA card)PC.I have successfully configured my Toshiba laptop with an airport (MAC) wireless network at my school.It works great with a range equal to the ibooks in our department.For anyone interested, I will outline what I did to accomplish this connection;
1. Update software and firmware from Linksys site.
2. Have network administrator access the airport base station and obtain encryption code for a third party wireless card.
3. Set up linksys cofiguration utility under infrastructure,SSID (enter ID of airport basestation),Tx rate fully automatic,PS mode disabled.
4. Set up encryption manually ( enter encryption code here)
5. Reboot and good luck!
