I was asked to implement a wireless Access Point in our office. I am
currently running 2 Windows 2003 Domain Controllers with DNS, a DHCP server,
File Servers and an ISA 2000 Firewall.

I bought a Orinoco Proxim 600 Access Point that supports RADIUS, WPA etc...

Since we do not currently utilize certificates, can I "get away" with
enabling WPA and feel somewhat confident that I am secure?

Does WinXP Pro SP1 (soon to be SP2) support WPA? Do/how do I know if the
Wireless NICS I have support WPA????

How did you all implement a secure wireless environment????

A lot, I know...THANKS!

Sean

WPA will be included in XPSP2 when it releases.

Here are links for the WPA package and the Wireless rollup package for
XPSP2.


KB for WPA (815485)
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;815485

Here is the KB for 826942, which addresses some additional issues related to
Wireless Networking and the WPA update.
