I have Vista on my laptop, my Girlfriend has Vista on her laptop. I setup my wireless network WPA2 increpted and not to broadcast the SSID. I had been connecting just fine on my laptop. When my girlfriend came over with her laptop Vista saw the "unnamed wireless network" and I noticed it said it was "unsecured" but figured I would try anyway even when my network is WPA2 secured. I know i was my network because I am the only one in my area listed as unnamed. When I typed in the SSID to connect it faild (I assume because it tried to connect as a non secure connection and it is truely secure). It doesn't give me a place to type in the encryption code anywhere because Vista thinks its non secured. Anyone seen this or know how to get around it?
I did change it to broadcast the SSID and then her computer saw it as secure, but when I set it back to not broadcast it gets confused again. I want to NOT broadcast it because I live in a townhouse and don't need my neighbors spending time trying to break into my wireless connection. Figured it would just be 1 more layer of security.
