I just installed a D-Link DIR-625 router, before, we had a Linksys router
with no issues whatsoever. (This is in secure WPA mode, there is no problem
in "unsecure" mode) My sons PC has Vista installed. He has a D-Link
wireless usb adaptor. Before, with the Linksys router, hookup was as would
be expected, find the SSID, click, a prompt for passphrase, sweet.

Now what happens is this... I right click the network icon in the taskbar
and select "Connect to a network" a list of available networks shows.( as
usual) I click our SSID and a different message appears than before, instead
of getting the usual prompt for a simple passphrase, I get a "Windows needs
more credentials to connect to this network", I click it and then a window
appears prompting for...

Username
Password
Domain pass

this is not an option suitable for the usual WPA Personal encryption, first
off there is no user name, no domain, its just WPA personal, TKIP,
passphrase... what can I do? like I said it connects fine if no encryption
is used. and it worked fine Lo these last 2 years with a Linksys WRT54G

I'm not very familiar with Vista, I'm an XP man myself

(I and my wife have XP, router installed on mine)
(My wife has windows XP with a Linksys adaptor and it works fine so I know
it is a Vista conflict)
