Have a CompUSA (FSI) wireless router running WPA (TKIP) w/ passphrase. Works
great on several XP Pro machines. Just purchased a Gateway MX3705 w/ Vista
Home Premium. It finds the network but will not connect, and when I
"diagnose" the problem it says it failed for "an unknown reason." There is an
un-secured network in my neighborhood, and the computer can connect fine to
this, so I think the card is OK.

Things I've tried:

-Removing security from our wireless network. Still wouldn't connect.
-Changing mode from "AP" to "ad-hoc". Connected! But my wired machines would
not connect, and it still wouldn't allow any kind of security.

Any ideas?

I installed a USB wireless adapter and that had the identical problem. There
must be some incompatibility between the CompUSA/FMI router and Vista,
because that adapter worked fine on XP machines...

I have the same issues with a d-link WAP. The card and Vista operate at work
without issues (also on a dynalink but a 2200 and not the G700AP that I have
at home).

I followed this link but with no fix:

Let me know if you make any headway. I supect that the routers that we are
running are not compatable with the new security running in Vista.

My vista computer will connect wirlessly if I remove all security. When I
introduce TKIP it will not connect. And it does not know why.

Seems to be some serious incompatibilities here. I can't even get it to work
with security turned off. Vista has no updates, and the firmware on the
router is the latest. I tried shutting off IPv6 as mentioned in another
thread, but still nothing. I'd rather not buy another router just to diagnose
the problem.

MS spent a lot of time telling people that Vista is better than XP - and
that its very stable, but the fact of the matter is that this functionality
works on every XP machine in my house with ease.

Fixed it! Forced an upgrade to new drivers on the RealTek wireless adapter.
Vista insisted that I had the newest, but I went to the Realtek website and
downloaded that latest version.

Hope this helps someone...
