Configuring your Windows Vista system to use LetNet Wireless

Here we'll take a look at how to configure Windows Vista-based computers to use LetNet Wireless.  It's worth noting, however, that there are still a couple of potential roadblocks or gotchas that could make this information irrelevant.  The first one is that your computer must have a wireless adapter that supports connections via the PEAP security method.  Most any vaguely-recently-manufactured one will, but there are some older ones in existence that do not.  Second, while Windows Vista has a built-in wireless connection manager tool - the one we're showing how to configure in this article - many computers come with a third-party wireless configuration tool that looks completely different.  In most cases, you can just disable that third-party tool and just use the Windows wireless system as shown here.  However, there are a lot of different manufacturers with a lot of different kinds of proprietary wireless software - so it is possible that your mileage may vary.

	Right-click on the network icon on your taskbar and select Connect to a network.
	Double-click on the network that you want to connect to. For most users, this will be the one called simply letnet.  If you are a guest on the campus and have been issued a password for use with guest wireless, you'd want to use the guest entry in that case.
	Enter "letnet" (all lowercase) in the Network Name field and click Next.
	Click on Enter/select additional log on information.
	Enter your LetNet username and password, enter "LETNET" as your logon domain and click OK.
	When prompted to Validate Server Certificate click OK.
	Ensure that Save this network and Start this connection automatically are checked and click OK.
