We have a wireless network with two computers running Windows XP. One computer frequently will not connect to the network on start-up. We get a message that says "Windows was unable to find a certificate to log you on to the network"
After bringing up the Linksys window and re-establishing the connection, it will work for the rest of the session.
Any advice is appreciated. Kudos! Thanks!

This is caused by setting the encryption to WPA-RADIUS instead of WPA-PSK on the client radio.Both the router and the client are trying to find a RADIUS server with which to authenticate your system.Switch the encryption to WPA-PSK (pre-shared key) on both ends and it will work .......

Re: WUSB300N Unable to find Certificate Options
I couldn't find a place to do that. I did find that if I double-clicked on the little icon in the lower right corner that looks like a monitor with two arcs to the right, a window comes up that says "Wireless Network Connection 2 Status". If I click on properties and configure and advanced, there is a property for Encryption type. It currently has a value of HW Encryption. The only other choice is SW Encryption. Am I looking in the wrong place?

BTW - I have two icons in the lower right corner that seem to have something to do with the wireless network. One looks like a computer monitor with two circular arcs to the right. The other is a rectangle with three quarter circular arcs in it. If the system is working, the rectangle is green. If not working, it is gray.
