XP, in the wireless-connection-properties, offers me WPA and WPA-PSK.
My wireless router, a Linksys WRT54G, offers me WPA Personal, WPA2
Personal, WPA Enterprise, and WPA2 Enterprise.
Which of those will connect with one another?
Here's another take on WPA-PSK/WPA Personal:
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_Protected_Access>
"Pre-shared key mode (PSK, also known as personal mode) is
designed for home and small office networks that cannot afford
the cost and complexity of an 802.1X authentication server.
Each user must enter a passphrase to access the network. The
passphrase may be from 8 to 63 ASCII characters or 64
hexadecimal digits (256 bits). If you choose to use the ASCII
characters, a hash function reduces it from 504 bits (63
characters * 8 bits/character) to 256 bits (using also the
SSID). The passphrase may be stored on the user's computer at
their discretion under most operating systems to avoid
re-entry. The passphrase must remain stored in the Wi-Fi access
point."
