firefox_2006 Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Hi We currently have a 3Com Managed wireless solution in place at the school. It is approximately 3 years old and we have an issue regarding Windows Vista. When you try and connect to it with a Vista laptop, you can type in the network key, and all it does it keep constantly trying to "acquire an network address". Eventually it gives up and I just get the "automatic" connection result. The Switches are WX1200's (we have three) Any idea why they will not connect? regards firefox_2006
contink Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 I'm sure this issue is resolved somewhere.. IIRC it was something to do with a mix of BIOS, WLAN adaptor drivers and Vista have a different approach to authentication.. I'm pretty sure if you do a search on Vista, wireless, problem you'll find some of the original discussions.
Oops_my_bad Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 I'd agree with contink - you'll probably find it's an issue with vista/wireless client
Flying_Toaster Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 I run a wx4400 & I had the same problem last fall of '07. IIRC, I simply installed the latest firmware on the WX & Vista problems went away. HTH. -John
