re: Passwording WiFi network w/ XP? Monday, August 21, 2006 at 10:37 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by twoclones (53 messages posted) You're going to have to set up *passwording* in the router or AP by turning on your security settings [WEP or WPA]. Using an ASCII key is the easiest in my opinion. You should be able to share the printer over wireless unless it's connected to your wired LAN. In that case you'll have to bridge the wired and wireless networks. I prefer to use a AP [access point] over a router because the AP bridges the two networks. A work around, if you are using a wifi router is to use an XP computer as a software bridge between the two networks. Not idea but it works.
