JohnD0e Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I got a laptop that came with Windows 2000 and since the WiFi card and connection manager only supported WEP, I bought a wireless PC card. The card is installed and the driver works the only problem is finding a connection manager that is both free and will work with my card and Windows 2000. I've tried maybe 10 different software with little to no success. Do you guys know of any software that will let me connect on a WPA protected network? Thank you.

Phenomic Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Most wireless managers work but make explorer intermittently hang for 1-2 minutes... except for BVRP Connection Manager Lite, download the older version (Engine 10.50.0.125), it doesn't hang.
