11 The default settings in Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 1 require IEEE 802.1x authentication. With IEEE
802.1x authentication enabled, connecting to a network requires a connection with an authentication server. If
the network has no authentication server, the connection is disabled every 3 minutes. Therefore, when
connecting to a network that has no authentication server, disable IEEE 802.1x authentication by doing the
following (if the network does have an authentication server, ignore this step):
• Click the Authentication tab.
• Clear the Enable network access control using IEEE 802.1x check box.
12 Click OK. The network name and icon appear at the top of the list under Preferred networks.
