    Windows 2000 vs XP

    Actually when I say properly configured I dont mean a single wep key - there is a simple network topology that defeats that avenue of attack even using wep - use it and even breaking the wep key does not gain entry to actual resources or networks. So, wep or wpa .. it makes no difference.
