Try to plug it into the router which is already installed and running with the other computers in the House.

My computer says "Windows cannot find the certificate to connect to the network."  This computer is working - and an administrator.  This person could not help me.  Hope someone here can...

The 'certificate' this computer is looking for is something that is used in networks wireless business and almost never in home wireless networks.

The following assumes that you have given to your home network wireless (SSID of the router) "name" which is recognizable as yours and different from the network name to your work.

The following also assumes that you are using Windows XP service pack 3 and you use to control your wireless Windows Wireless Zero Configuration (WZC) adapter.

If none of these assumptions are not correct, provide the relevant information.

If all of the above assumptions are correct, then

  • Open network connections (start > run > ncpa.cpl > OK)
  • Right-click on the icon for your wireless adapter and select Properties
  • Click the "Wireless Networks" tab.  This is where you confirm that "Use Windows to configure my wireless network" is checked. If it is not checked, stop here - you need to identify the utility that controls your wireless adapter before continuing. a good place to look is the icons in the Notification area (next to the time display)
  • Select your network (SSID of your router) from the list of "Preferred networks", and then click Properties
  • Click on the "Authentication" tab and uncheck the box for "enable authentication IEEE 802. 1 x for this network. "
  • OK your way out.

If "allow authentication IEEE 802. 1 x for this network"is checked, but grayed out, so you can't change it, click 'Cancel' to return to the"Wireless Networks"tab and"Remove"the entry of your router.  Then click on "View Wireless Networks", select your router, click Connect and enter your password when you are prompted.
