wireless connection

[slimdeb]

Have a speedstream modem with wireless WEP enabled open. I can connect to this gateway through all other devices (Iphone, HTC etc) except my HP Laptop with Vista OS. I have manually configured the wireless network through vista and placed the WEP code and connection name in settings, but a dialogue box keeps opening asking for extra information (username password and domain name). No other devices need this to connect to my modem, why does vista keep asking for this info which doesn't exist and how to I fix it?:huh:

Does vista support WEP? Im not on a pc right now so I cant check. Im sure someone will answer the question. You aare using a workgroup I assume. If you turn wep off are you able to see and connect?
