I have vista premium and eveytime it tried to connect to my router it doesent prompt for me to enter my number

Question

I have a wep password on and am not sure why it wont connect it just tries to connect without asking for the password.

Strange xp asked for it with no problem but vista premium is not working at all.

Can anyone think of why this could be happening and a possible solution . thanks!

Answer 1

the connection is preprogrammed to try to connect without a password. Disconnect, restart, and connect again....if that doesn't work, delete all the preferred networks by going into the network properties and deleting the preferred networks, then reconnect.

Answer 2

Gee. I don't know.

Answer 3

If you have already typed in a password it tries to use it. So if it a bad or old password it just won't connect.

To change the password click on the network Icon in your task bar in the bottom right of your screen.  Then click on connect or disconnect.  Now you should be seeing a list of wireless networks.  Right click your wireless network / router and go to properties.  In the security tab you can change the password.  

Good Luck!
