Hi
I have been trying to enable a wireless network with access points, it works fine if I try to logon with Windwos XP, but when trying to login with Vista I am having a lot of trouble. I can logon to the network on access point 1 but if I move over and try to logon to access point 2 I am propmted for password but I can not connect, if I then goes back to Access point 1 (which) I could logon to earlier) I get the same error. Can anyone tell me what is worng, is it some settings in VIsta or?? |

They are setup like this:
SSID same for all, roaming profile, access point 1: channel 6, access point 2: channel 11. Both of them is ZyXEL ZyAIR G-1000. Security WPA.

Yes the SSID is broadcasted, I am using a HP 6510B laptop with the Intel PRO
/ Wireless 3945ABG Network connection, By the way I think that the wireless network is not working properly at all, in VIsta. I have seen the same issue with my old machine as well which was a DELL D820. I can mention that I had WIN XP on this machine and the the WIreless was much more stable than it is today with Vista, I have all the latest drivers from Intel installed so I don't think that it s the problem.

there have been multiple issues with the Intel wireless drivers. I
can only suggest that you check both the HP site AND the Intel site for a newer driver. You don't mention what wireless NIC the Dell has.
