I am attempting to connect to the college wireless internet from my ZT Q8200 64x Vista Home premium desktop from my house. I have a Linksys dual-Band Wireless-N USB Network Adapter model WUSB600N. I can see the college wireless network and configured it manually to match the college encryption/Configuration specs (WPA2 Enterprise, TKIP, protected EAP-PEAP, unchecked validate server cert, secured password EAP-MSCHAP), but when it prompts for my user name and password, it says, "cannot connect you to network".



Does anyone have any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?

some University's dont work well with 64bit. have you talked with the network admin?

Ken

Thanks for your reply Ken, I did contact tech support and they want me to bring my computer in. Since I have a desktop, I was trying to avoid this. I guess they don't like to trouble shoot over the phone. Here is what the event viewer logs:
