Oh my! The reference article helps greatly!
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/net...fi/wrlsxp.mspx

In that article, it basically says "WPA2-Personal" uses "PSK" so now I
*finally* have a correlation on the router side with the PC side!

ROUTER = WPA2-Personal, TKIP + AES (which the article says also uses PSK)
WINDOWS = WPA2-PSK, TKIP (with the patch listed in KB893357 & KB917021)

Finally, if you see this message, then I have a match between the 802.11g
abbreviations used on the router side and the newly patched 802.11i
abbreviations used on the Windows XP SP2 PC side!

May I ask why they all don't just use the same abbreviations?
