How do you set up a WPA2 password so that other computers can access a router without IP config. problems?

I set up an Apple Aiport Extreme and put a WPA2 password on it. The node computers cannot access the router correctly. The key is typed correctly and nothing happens on the nodes (PC's running Windows XP) Any thoughts?

1. Do the Windows XP computers have wireless hardware that supports WPA2? If not, you may check via Microsoft Update or the vendor of the wireless card to see if there is an updated driver. I'm also assuming the Windows machines are running XP Service Pack 2 (Start, Run, winver), which added WPA support to the Windows wireless configuration utility.

Can the XP computers access the Airport Extreme when you have no security enabled? How about it you use WEP?
