4.0 Connect to a wireless network

Windows 2000 is not equipped with wireless support. That is why the wireless USB
adapter is supplied with special configuration software, suited to your Windows
version. Continue to paragraph 4.1.
Windows XP is equipped with wireless support. We do recommend you to install
Windows XP Service Pack 3 for optimum wireless stability. You can download this
software for free from the following location: 'www.windowsupdate.com'. This software
update enhances the security possibilities of Windows XP.
