    I have a laptop and PS3 connected to a wireless network with no problems, but my new vista laptop keeps asking for "additional log on information" including a username, password and domain. I have only ever used a WEP key and have no other details.

    It seems that this is a common problem in Vista, but I cannot find a sollution. Any ideas? Oh, the laptop has been tested on other wireless networks and it works fine... just my landlords doesn't seem to work.

    Not to worry, I managed to fix it. For anyone else with similar problems, you need to set up the network manually and select WEP (or WPA) and then enter your key. Otherwise you get the funny prompt i mentioned.

    You don't by any chance, have the system set up to belong to a domain instead of a workgroup, do you?
