Hi,
we ha ve a corporate wireless network made of 3com devices, on our acces point we are brodcastinsg 2 ssid. One is open and the other one is secure with wpa. we never had any problem, our clients are using xp, 2000, mac name it...but with windows vista we are able to acces the secure one but not the open one....what a strange probleme? is vista blocking in any way public network..alos i have to say when we do connect to those wireless network the next step for users is to logon from a web page to access internet, this web page is comming from our firewall (bordermamager) and there is not certificate for this page...could this be the problem...i thought so but why the secure network is working. Thansk for you help |

When you say that you aren't able to access it, can you be more specific?
Does Vista see the wireless network? If so, when you try to connect, does it give an error message, or connect but is unable to access your logon page? "Didier Godot" a écrit dans le message de ...

hi, well vista see the network and is able ot connect to it, the wifi signal
i well but it say local only. when i connect to the same acces point with the other ssid (the secure one wpa) it does the same but it gives me local and internet acces. so the only difference between the 2 ssid are the security, for both of them you need to authenticate from a web page to browse internet!
