    WEP Credentials issue


    Trying to get a laptop on my wireless network.
    Running Vista.
    My wireless network is using WEP
    For every other computer on the network all I am ever asked is for the key.
    For some reason this machine (the only Vista machine) is looking for User Name / Password / Logon Domain.
    This does not happen w/ 3 XP machines / 1 Macbook / 1 iTouch / 1 Windows 7 machine.
    Probably a simple setting but I have very little Vista experience.
    Any thoughts.....what am I missing, probably simple?

    You will need to update to WPA-PSK or better WPA2-PSK for Windows 7:

    Whats the router/gateway?
    Is this a home network?

    Decided to just reinstall the OS clean rather than figure out this problem.
    Right now everything done except on 55 of 106 Vista updates.
    After that I will see if it will play nice w/ my network.
