| | | | 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?

| | | | | there have been multiple problems with the Intel 4965AGN. First, get
the most recent driver from their site. Then reboot and unbind IPv6
from the wireless

Then setup for broadcasting the SSID, WPA-AES

| | | | | 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?

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

do you know anyone with a different brand router that you can try a
connectivity test with? also see
http://support.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/sb/CS-006205.htm and
try the settings recommended there.
