May I know whether the Windows Wireless Zero Configuration support WPA2?
During the setup we can only see the WPA but not WPA2. Thanks.

what operating system? what NIC?
XP SP2 requires http://support.microsoft.com/?id=893357
and you may need a newer driver for the wireless NIC.

also, what router? may need a firmware upgrade to support WPA2 if it
is an old router.

Hi
Windows gets the available type type of encryption from the Wireless card
drivers. If you install the patch (as mentioned in Barb post) and your
Wireless source is WPA2 encrypted it means that your card currently is Not
WPA2 compatible. Some older cards can be upgraded to WPA2, otherwise you
need a new card.
