    Hey People,
    I have Vista on a Dell M1330 and am at Uni. Apparently their wireless security settings require "WPA" and i only have "WPA-ENTERPRISE". Is there a workaround this? or is there more information you want that you could get me to find out and update?
    I must admit im an intermediate user so rallying off highly complex things will perplex me, but if you can help, or think you may help with more info, then please post! I shall give rep points as incentive to whoever solves this definitely haha!
    Cheers in advance guys
    Jake

    have you tried using WPA-Personal instead of WPA-Enterprise?

    WPA is simply the encryption, as far as I know the difference between Enterprise and Personal is that Personal uses a pre-shared key. I'm willing to bet your University uses either WPA-Enterprise or WPA2-Enterprise. Isn't there a Helpdesk you can contact?
