    Read through this, and see if it's the same.

    Thanks for that link- i tried deleting the entries on my vista laptop but when i use my vista to log on to my wireless using wpa 2 with aes i still get a 'unnamed network' using wep. This does not happen with my xp laptop. I am confused- why does my vista give a wep signal when i log on to my network?
