WPA security

Hi -

 

I just enabled WPA security on my wireless router.  However, I cannot connect with my Dell laptop.  It connects when the network is open, and when WEP is enabled, but not with WPA.  Is this a network card issue?  How can I determine if my card is compatible?

 

Please help.  Thank you.

did you change you wireless encryption key on the laptop to match the router?

I'm thinking it has to be a limitation of my network card in my laptop.....as I said, open and WEP work fine......WPA seems to be the issue.  My iPhone connected to the router with WPA enabled, the laptop will not.

 

How do I know if my network card is the issue?  If its compatible with WPA security?
