    Have a wired network working OK with a wireless router on it - this is setup with 128 bit WEP security.
    I have 1 laptop with Windows 7 on it and this found the wireless network and on clicking Connect it asked for the security code and then connected OK.
    I have another laptop running Vista Premium and this too detected the correct wireless network but on selecting Connect it came up and asked for the login Domain and User name and Password - normally I would expect it to ask for the security Key but no.
    I am sure there is an easy answer to this but would be grateful if some kind person could point me in the right direction.
    Many thanks
