Default Unable to connect to wireless network

I just upgraded to Vist RC1. I can not connect to my wireless network. I
can see the network but cant connect. I could connect to it when I had XP
and I can connect to my neighbors network. I think that I have checked all
the normal settings? Any suggestions?

Did you try disabling current network connection and letting the Vista network wizard discover and install network connections?

Per chance are you running in WPA mode on your router?

I found that Vista saw my Linksys WRT54G router set up with WPA-Personal
TKIP as a WEP network, It would not connect until I reconfigured the router
to WEP.

Are any others experiencing this issue?

Yes, I've seen more or less the same issue with mij SMC router. Without any
security I can perfectly connect to my wireless network. When I'm using WPA
TKIP settings I get the message that windows cannot connect due to a time out.

That seems to be a bug. I got the same problem.
Regardless which authentification I use.

I have same problem with my WPA-Enterprise configuration using Windows
2003/PKI/RADIUS/Active Directory infrastructure. I am using the Linksys
WAP, which appears to by common amongst all the people having problems (WAP
and Router from Linksys have same wireless functionality).

My tcpdump logs show successful acceptance of authetication via udp port
1812 communications between the WAP and the Windows 2003 RADIUS server, but
the Windows box continues to loop in a "attempting to autheticate" mode.
Many successful "Access Accepted" entries are found in the event log of the
Windows 2003 RADIUS server.

It would appear that the WPA encryption schemes in the Linksys and Vista are
incompatible.
