484234	2006-09-12 23:52:00	I am trying to configure the WPA security settings for D-Link DSL - G604T. I have studied the D-Link manual and find that I do not understand the terminology used. Our Operating system is Windows XP Home and the modem/router seems to be working as it should. In the set up page, should I be selecting 802.1x - or PSK Hex or PSK String? Assuming that I go for 802.1x, the settings that I am attempting to configure and can not comprehend are: 1) Group Key Interval??? What is this? 2) Server IP address ??? Is this my ISP / D-Link address or what? As we live in a remote area which is unlikely to find anyone trying to access our wireless network there is no desperate hurry, but I would be grateful for any information that would make us more secure. I think that I can handle the remainder. Can anyone help please?	Oldferix (5581)
