jmaxxz Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I am sure many of you like myself have very long WPA keys. Hooking up other people with access to your wireless network can be a bit of a hassle. Or how about when you get enlisted by your non-techy friends to set up a secure wireless network? This is a slight problem because after you set that 63char key and putting in a text file for them with a readme explaining how they would go about setting up a new computer to access the network can be a bit difficult. And then you get the call 4 weeks later because they can not figure out how to type out that password. (yeah they seem to not know about copy and paste) There has to be a more friendly way to do this right? Yes there is, but in windows out of the box you can only do it with flash drives and it is all a bit tricky. You don't want to have a flash drive with your key sitting around, and locking up a flash drive that is only 0.00001% used up just seems like a waste. So for the Vista users out there I have whipped together a couple windows batch scripts and an autorun.inf file to make your life easy. The batch scripts use the fun that is netsh wlan . Download the zip Extract the files run wireless_export type the name of the wireless network configuration you are exporting burn all files to disc ta-da now you have a cd that will auto configure a vista machine for a WIFI network on insertion you can get the zip from my site: here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
