Oh my. I THOUGHT I had all the latest windows xp patches but I didn't have
the Microsoft KB 893357 WPA2/WPA2-PSK additive patch you had suggested.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/893357

This Microsoft KB893357 patch added TWO new options to my wireless zero
control panel (WPA2, & WPA2-PSK) so now my options are more even.

HERE ARE THE AVAILABLE WIRELESS ROUTER OPTIONS:
a. Security Mode = Disabled, WPA Personal, WPA Enterprise, WPA2 Personal,
WPA2 Enterprise, Radius, or WEP
b. WPA Algorithms = AES, TKIP, or TKIP+AES

HERE ARE THE NEWLY AVAILABLE WINDOWS WIRELESS PC OPTIONS:
a. Network Authentication = Open, Shared, WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2, or WPA2-PSK
b. Data Encryption = AES, or TKIP

So I think I'll go with:
ROUTER: WPA2 Personal
WINDOWS: WPA2-PSK

The only problem left is that I'm assuming "WPA2 Personal" is the same as
"WPA2-PSK". Is it?
