I bought the girlfriend a Vaio for Christmas. It has Vista Home
Premium OEM on it. I've tried to connect to the existing wireless network I have. Other laptops/PCs in the house with XP home & XP Pro fine, but this one with Vista has had consistent problems. Existing wireless router specs: Linksys WRT54GSV4 Rev 1.06.1 Security: WPA2/TKIP SSID broadcast: off VAIO specs: VGN-CR220E Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN I've tried all combinations of switching WPA modes, switching to WEP, and enabling SSID broadcasting to no avail. When there is no security, Vista connects fine. Obviously this isn't ideal. Any advice? Jeff Cheung |

Barb,
I updated the drivers to 11.5.9.32 from Intel's site, unbound IPv6, and switched to WPA-AES while broadcasting SSID as you recommended. The laptop with Vista still can't connect. Event log shows the same message as before (Wireless association failed due to status code 1). I'm perplexed. Is this just a driver issue? Are there any known versions that work?

is the wireless router running in G only or in mixed B/G mode? can
you try both? can you try a different passphrase for testing (something simple like testing1234 ) and configure this on both the router and the computer?

Done and done...
Simple key for testing doesn't work either. Tried test, test123, testing123. Same error event entry.

Same exact wireless card... Dell Inspiron 1420.. Same exact router... Same exact problem.. When i purchased this laptop and first powered it on, it worked perfectly, on a crapload of different networks.. Friends house, home, work, Panera Bread, etc.. Never had a problem with my wireless connection.. But just 2 days ago, i reformated my Laptop to make up some extra space.. And ever since i get this issue.. Been at it for 2 days... literally.. sitting in front of this computer.. Trying to figure out what the hell is going on.. I'm close to tossing the laptop out of the window. I can't take it anymore.. Someone Please help. -- MStonePC Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |

Someone Please help. After you installed your operating system, did you go to Dell's tech support site and download drivers for your wireless card? If not, that's your next step.

I fixed the problem!! Turns out the New August Drivers for Intel 4965AGN are all buggy... They do not work properly for Vista. If you're experiencing this issue, just google "4965AGN and Vista" and download 2007 drivers. -- MStonePC Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |

If you're experiencing this issue, just google "4965AGN and Vista" and download 2007 drivers. Glad you fixed it. However, please note that if you are downloading drivers directly from Intel's site instead of from Dell's site, that's why you're having difficulties. With OEM machines like your Dell, you always want to get drivers from the OEM's website since hardware is often made specifically for the OEM. Another point: there is generally no reason to update wireless adapter drivers unless to fix a specific issue and/or vulnerability. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
