I have a new X200 running XP using Thinkvantage (access connections)- I can connect to a wireless network using WEP and ones that are open- When I try to connect to a wireless using WPA it will not connect. Anyone have any knowledge as to why??

Theer are a few different settings related to WPA which must be identical at both ends of the connection for it to work... make sure you are using the correct encryption settings for whatever the relevant access point is set to.

I'm not sitting in front of a ThinkPad right now, but the settings related to things like "WPA" or "WPA2", or possible "TKIP" or "AES", or similar.
