  • Windows could not find a certificate to log on netgear47

    I have 2 laptops, Dell is connected and the notbook connects without a problem.  I try to connect this old Vaio pcg - K33 K series and the message above. It comes to XP.

    I hung a cable from the router to the computer and can get online but still can't hang wireless.

    Your information is somewhat distorted, but I guess that what follows:

    'Netgear47' is a model of a Netgear wireless router.

    The error message that you get on the Vaio is similar to "Windows could not find a certificate to connect to the network.

    What version AND service pack of Windows XP is installed on the Vaio (right click my computer and select Properties, if you do not know).

    The most likely problem is that on the Vaio's wireless adapter is misconfigured.  If you use Windows wireless zero configuration (WZC) to configure the card (and not a utility provided by Sony), see the following for directions on how to correct this problem: http://helpdeskgeek.com/how-to/windows-was-unable-to-find-a-certificate-to-log-you-on-to-the-network/

    While you are on the "Wireless network connection properties" screen (in the middle of the 3 images on the site linked), look at the box at the top ('use Windows to configure my wireless network').  If this box is NOT checked, then the fix suggested on the web site may not work and you will need to use the utility Sony to make a similar change. In this case, it may be easier to simply delete the 'profile' of your network in the utility of Sony. When you try to connect after you have deleted the profile, the network must be configured correctly.
