XP wireless connections: older equipment is bungled!

I used a usb 2.0 wireless connecting USB dongle = whatsit.

I can't find the options to set the encryption to 64 bit in Windows xp when setting up the wilreless network connection.

The option just doesn't seem to exist anywhere in the Xp configuration.

My other Pc has IBM connections which handles all of this with ease. But XP network connections for wireless doesn't.

Part 2:
Well, I found the source of the problem:

Windows Zero-configuration tool… it sometimes doesn't work well, esp. with older hardware.
