Encriptación wireless WPA2 on vista professional

I tried to connect to wpa2 personal wireless professional vista and I can not connect

Of the weaker for wireless security, more strong capacity is.

No security

Switch Off SSID (even has No Security. SSID can be sniffed easily even if it is turned off)

MAC Filtering___ (Band Aid if nothing else is available, MAC number can be easily Spoofed).

WEP64___ (Easy, "Break" by knowledgeable people).

WEP128___ (a little more difficult to activate, but "Piraté" too).

-------------------

The three above are not considered safe.

Safe starts here at WPA.

-------------------

WPA-PSK__(Very Hard to Break).

WPA-AES__(Not functionally Breakable)

WPA2___ (not functionally breakable).

Note 1: WPA - AES the current interpretation level entry of WPA2.

Note 2: If you use WinXP SP3 bellows and not updated, you need to download the fix from Microsoft WPA2. http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/893357

Documentation of your devices (router wireless and computer wireless card) must indicate the type of security that is available with your wireless hardware.

All devices MUST be set to the same level of security using the same password.

Therefore, security must be set according to what is the best possible one of the wireless devices.

I.e. even if most of your system may be able to be configured to the maximum with WPA2, but a device is able to be configured for maximum of the WEP Protocol, to the whole system must be configured to WEP.

If you need more security and a device (such as a wireless card that can only do WEP) is now better security for the entire network, replace with a better device.

  • I do do not have the possibility of creating an ad hoc wireless network in vista professional.

    I am trying to set up an ad-hoc connection, however I'll add a connection through the connection manager and the options for connection type are available with the exception of ad-hoc.   Is it possible to activate this in vista professional.  My options are currently in the box add a login section are only: Internet, point of access, manual connection, dial-up and VPN.

    Thank you

    Hi hkwinger,

    It seems as the hardware is not supported the feature.  Check the model of your wireless adapter and the router, go to the manufacturing site and check see if these models support the functionality of ad hoc network first.

    Let us know if it helps to solve the problem,

  • Intel PRO/wireless 3945 users - Vista and SP1

    Hello

    is anyone having problems with the Intel PRO/wireless 3945 on VISTA? It worked fine with the embedded version of VISTA RTM but that Microsoft has published patches and updates, my machine became unstable.

    Symptoms are accidents when entering the mode "Eve" (the screen goes black, HD does not stop and finally dreams of fan up to max Fourny..) and the system freezes when the wireless LAN is disabled with the switch HW or FlashCards.

    The problem is very acute with VISTA SP1, and I had to disable the driver. I'm sure that this driver is the issue that I reinstalled VISTA using recovery before you apply the latest service pack 1 (RC Refresh) last week.

    If you use this chip Vista wireless problem, please post your experience and advice if you have auto update in MS patches, especially the KB related to the performance of materials (KB941649 and USB KB941600 etc.)

    Hello

    It is an Intel WLan card. So try to use the Intel WLan driver on Intel page.
    From time to time Intel provides new updates of pilot and mainly the WiFi problems should be solved after an update of the WLan driver.

  • Vista to Vista professional, full update

    I just bought a Dell computer brand new and they put the hurt on her windows.  I bought the upgrade and have tried to install it.  After some time I got an error saying that he finished not (don't remember why).  I now try again, but I was wondering if this is common and what is the problem?  I had Windows Vista Home Premium and am trying to load Windows Vista Business Edition full.

    There is no such Vista as 'Vista Ultimate Business' operating system.

    Vista Home Premium to Vista Business is not an upgrade path. It must do a clean install.

    You have:

    Vista Starter Edition

    Vista Home Basic

    Vista Home Premium

    Vista Business

    Vista Ultimate

    Vista Business

    From Home Premium, you can only switch to Vista Ultimate.

    To go from Vista Home Premium to Vista Business, it must do a clean install with a full version of Vista Business, NOT a version upgrade of Vista professional.

  • Is it possible that I can buy an upgrade to Vista professional for Vista Ultimate?

    company from vista upgrade to windows 7 ultimate

    I have a PC where Vista Business came pre-installed.  I ignored the offer to upgrade to Windows 7, which was to come out soon.  Now, I need to use the bitlocker feature that is not available on my version of Vista.  It seems that my only option to achieve this functionality is upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate and I need to buy a new license of Windows 7.  Is this correct?  Given that Windows 8 is expected this year there will be an offer for me to upgrade to it at a special rate?  Is it possible that I can buy just an upgrade of Vista professional for Vista Ultimate?  Thank you.

    Because Anytime Upgrade is no longer available for Vista, you will need to buy a copy to standard retail or upgrade to Vista Ultimate.  Vista has been on the shelves of retailers for some time, you may need to look on online auction sites.

    Remember that Vista Ultimate only adds multilingual, Bitlocker and Extras.  Are you sure that you need?

    If you are seen Windows 7 please download and run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to determine the State of your current software under Windows 7.

    Windows 8 is radically different from Vista and Windows 7.  Make sure that you preview before you buy.

    My personal choice would be to continue using Vista Business or upgrade to Windows 7 Professional.  Windows 7 Ultimate does not even have Extras.

  • What are the BCD entries to TWO instances of dual boot of Vista professional in TWO separate hard drives?

    What are the BCD entries to TWO instances of dual boot of Vista professional in TWO separate hard drives? -Dell Vostro 1710, my wife had to be returned to Dell, I installed its Vostro hard drive in my Dell Vostro 1710 SAME, but I don't get a menu starting double when I turn on my Vostro. (Both Vista Business operating systems are licensed separately).

    I would like to start his drive hard so that it looks like 'his' office on 'his' computer.

    Thanks for any advice.

    The easiest way is to use the DualBoot Pro.  He has the tools to write the necessary code automatically.  It is excellent for managing the tasks you want to do.

    However, you have a potential license problem.  Even if your Dell has the exact code in the BIOS to activate the copy of Windows on the hard drive of your wife, the computer is only allowed for an OEM copy.  If Dell is back after repairs then you should be OK once you have turned on the hard disk in his computer of your wife. You can delete the entry of additional start with DualBoot Pro menu,

  • can upgrade you vista Home premium to vista professional in order to install windows 7 Professional upgrade?

    Husband bought the windows 7 Professional upgrade.  Of course when it did not work and the message was to do a "clean install", we both had type light headed as we thought it that will take all day and probably does not work smoothly since is the most "literate" computer.  I did some internet research and according to microsoft, windows vista business upgrade to windows 7 Professional is an upgrade and not a clean install.  Is it useful to try and uprade my 64-bit edition windows Home premium windows vista professional in order to upgrade to windows 7 Professional?  I don't think we can get our money back because the packaging is open or I would say just that we trade it for ultimate.  If anyone can help I would really appreciate it.  Also I don't know even where to download vista business or haow only as much as it would cost.  Thanks in advance.

    N ° there is no way to go from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional OR Vista business without what you call a 'clean install', so there is no point in spending money to upgrade to Home Premium to business before the upgrade to Windows 7 Professional.  Upgrade Vista Home Premium only allowed on-site is ultimate.

    Use Windows Easy Transfer to keep your files and settings.  Then, start the computer with the Windows 7 dvd installation and moving forward.  Do not remove Vista.  Windows 7 upgrade installation should detect a copy installed Windows so that you can use the upgrade product key.  Once you reach the installation type selection screen, you will see the upgrade option is grayed out.  Choose the custom option to continue.

    If you want to do a clean install, you can use the tools on the installation type selection screen (until you click on custom) to reformat, etc., but this is not necessary if you don't mind remove the old Windows folder later.  If you start with a blank hard drive your upgrade license will be a problem then don't attempt is not a clean install of the old way.

    Hello mt4448,

    MSDN software are downloaded as ISO files (finally they do when I download them). The ISO must be burned on a DVD and then it is simply a case of starting your PC, insert the DVD into your DVD drive and then restarting the PC again. You do not want to check that your DVD player is your first boot drive if the installation does not start.

    Take a look at this link from my Web site: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/install_windows_vista.htm

    Also visit this link to change the priority of the disc: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org/how_do_i_enable_cdrom_support_i.htm

    If you have a modern PC 2 to 3 years already, the CD/DVD drive should be set as first boot option.
