I'm re-posting this because it is only visible online at the MS website, not
on NewsReaders so.... (I'll try again)... 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) |

Note, however, the entered domain name can be overridden by the one obtained from the router's upstream DHCP server. --------------- -Frank |

Nope! local domain is blank. Even if it had something in it that still
doesn't explain the "User Name", "Password" (not passphrase) would that be: Admin, My Password, leave domain blank? "Frankster" wrote in message ... "99XJ" wrote in message ...

I found this on the web:
http://lts.brandeis.edu/techresource...ess.html(right under "Connecting to Secure Wireless" click the Windows Vista link,it will scroll down to the tutorial, this site is a college telling you howto log onto their WPA2 Enterprise secure wireless network)it shows exactly what is happening to me. It (the Vista) thinks I have therouter security set to "WPA2 Enterprise" but I have the router set to WPAPersonal, WPA Only. My wife's XP with a Linksys adaptor works correctly,prompting for a simple passphrase."99XJ" wrote in ! local domain is blank.

I can't read your last post. The formatting is a shambles. But, did you say
you set WPA Enterprise? According to the D-Link instructions... --------------------- The WPA-Enterprise option requires an external RADIUS server. --------------------- Do you have a Radius server? -Frank |
