There is no 'Use simple file sharing' checkbox in the Folder Options in Vista
- you must be thinking of XP. There is a 'User Sharing Wizard' tickbox, but
unchecking it has no effect. In XP, this procedure turns on the Security tab
on *folder* properties; it does not affect the Network Connection properties
page.

I'm having the same issue - I need 802.1x on a wired connection and cannot
find how to enable it. I have referred to
https://www.microsoft.com/technet/it...ork.mspx#EUGAE
which described how to configure it using either a Group Policy setting
(Computer Configuration/Windows Settings/Security Settings/Wired Network
(IEEE 802.3) Policies) or using the the netsh wired context at the command
line. The GP key listed does not exist, and when I type netsh wired, the
netsh program returns "The following command was not found: wired."

Has 802.1x for wired connections actually been implemented in Vista Beta 2
or is it coming in a later build?

I was also having issues with the authenication tab not showing up, you need
to enable the service for the tab to appear, it is disable by default in
Vista.

Services.msc --> enable Wired AutoConfig Service

Hope this helps.

In Vista 802.1x is disable by default.
Go to Administrative Tools --> Services and enable Wired AutoConfig Service,
this will get you the authentication tab.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Tim - that's the step I was missing. Have to admit that after
everything I did try I feel a bit dim for not spotting that!

Nice of Microsoft to document that it is turned off by default too...
