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.
