I haven't seen this mentioned in all the not inconsiderable reading I've 
done. The only reference I've seen to having to run a server is in 
connection with WPA/WPA2 and the AES algorithm where there has to be a 
RADIUS server involved. I'm running WPA with the TKIP algorithm.

If I'm wrong could you clarify or point me to a source? I ran across 
this at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb877996.aspx

"For environments without a RADIUS infrastructure, WPA supports the use 
of a preshared key. For environments with a RADIUS infrastructure, WPA 
supports EAP and RADIUS."

Forgive the source (M$).

As I mentioned in a previous post, the connection fails with or without 
encryption enabled.

Thanks for your continued patience. Between you and the other list 
members who have responded I know a bit more about networking than when 
I started.
