hi all,

Sorry to bring this up again. it's been a while and i've been traveling too much. Anyways. I'm still having the same problem where trying to connect automatically to a WEP wireless prompts of oddly for a username/password even after i enter the WEP key.

Hi dsharky, glad to hear from you again!

Windows 7 is not going to allow you to use WEP. You will have to use WPA-PSK, or WPA-PSK2:






Cheers!

I'm partial to WPA2-Personal myself. Since I don't have a RADIUS server at home, the -Enterprise options are out. I run a mixed wireless network at home with Win 7, XP, and occasionally my work Vista laptop. This is all through a Linksys WRT110 router.

Setting the wireless network manually helped! Thanks!
