the wpa-psk option is not a choice in Vista wireless networking choice that
just came on my PC. How do I get it as an option as my network used this security protocol? |

Do you mean that you can use WEP but not WPA?

my router is not set up for wep. it is set up for wpa-psk. in Vista I have
two personal choices wpa-personal and wpa2-personal I tried each and wpa-personal will at least see the router but not communicate the passcode. the wpa2-personal gives error message that settings are wrong. Really did not want to go to WEP since I have two other computers running XP (including this one) that are working just fine. If I change it would have to change these other computers. "Robert L.

I am having the same problem. My network is set up as wpa-psk, which is not
an option in Vista. I have tried wpa-personal which lets me add in the passcode. But after setting it up as wpa-personal, its not showing up in available networks. Does anyone have a solution for this. Thanks.

My router is Belkin F5D7230-4, Firmwa 4.05.03, the security options are;
wpa-psk, 128 bit wep, 68 bit wep, wpa(with radius server). The SSID is not set to broadcast. On my other XP desktop, even though the SSID is not set to broadcast, I do see a wireless network without a SSID which is my network. (it shows the encryption, signal strength, MAC address but not the SSID). On my laptop with Vista, I DO NOT see a network out there without a SSID (my network is not even showing up without the SSID as it does on my desktop XP) I changed my wireless setting on the Belkin to broadcast the SSID, with wpa-psk. Now I do see the wireless network on the Vista laptop and am able to connect. I guess my only problem is Id like to set up this without broadcasting the SSID but as of right now, I am unable to do so. Thanks for your help.

anyone that really wants to find a hidden SSID will do so very
easily. it is not recommended that you turn off the broadcast. see http://blogs.zdnet.com/Ou/index.php?p=43 -- On Sat, 29 Dec 2007 09:36:00 -0800, Stew wrote: My router is Belkin F5D7230-4, Firmwa 4.05.03, the security options are; wpa-psk, 128 bit wep, 68 bit wep, wpa(with radius server).
