WinXP Home client can't connect to WPA network

I have a WinXP Home client that will not connect to a WPA protected network.
When I try to join the network I get the following error message:

"Windows is unable to connect to the selected network...."

I have tried multiple wireless network cards in this machine and have gotten
the same error. I have tried updating the drivers on the cards as well with
no avail. If I try the same cards on another XP machine I can join the
network just fine. I am running SP2 on this box as well.

Any help you can provide would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!

Have you downloaded and installed the XP Patch for WPA????

That is a pre sp2 fix that is rolled up into sp2. I tried to install it
anyway and it states that you can only install that fix on top of sp1.

Are you absolutely sure that both cards have hardware\driver support for
WPA. Alot of cards do not.
