Vista prompting for Network Security Key where there is none.
Ahoy! My company provides free wireless internet for clients on-site, but we cannot seem to get an Acer computer with Vista Home Premium 32bit connected. There is no encryption for the connection, only a 9-letter password. Vista has not prompted for a passoword, only for a Network Security key, which can only be 5 or 13 characters. Trying either WEP encryption or no Encryption, the "Connect to a network" window lists the connection as, "The settings on this computer for the network do not match the requirements of the network." We have no enountered this problem on laptops with Windows XP. Any advice or tips? -- Dothkam

Hi
If there is No Encryption but a password it seems that you do not have direct Wireless connection but some kind of a logon server (like RADIUD) server. If this is the case you probably need to make sure that the Acer Network is correctly set to connect to professional Network. Jack (MS, MVP-Networking) "Dothkam" wrote in message ... Ahoy!
