| | Vista & XP Home Wireless Network Connection Please Help! I am trying to connect my Vista home basic wireless to my established XP home wireless network. I can see the network but it will not connect. I have checked the settings on Vista for file and print sharing and it is allowed. I have also checked the correct password is being used on the network. It is set to automatically connect. It is set to use WEP encryption. Any suggestions greatly appreciated! Thanks, Terry |

| | Re: Vista & XP Home Wireless Network Connection Please Help! I am not sure which security tab you are refering to. Under the wireless network properties security tab I have security type open - encryption type wep - and the security key entered. In the windows security center I am using norton's firewall and all other items are on. "Robert L. (MS-MVP)" wrote: Quote: > Make sure you have assigned permission in the Security tab.
