Vista home prem wired dot1x never prompts for username (no bubble at system tray)
hi all hope you can help me out with this. I have 2 vista laptops, one is working fine for wired dot1x and the other is not (i.e. i have enabled the wired auto config and have an appropriate dot1x authenticator in my network). Both are setup with MS PEAP + MSCHAPv2. The issue i have is that one of the machines will never pop up the ballon "connection requires additional information" above the system tray. despite having not checked "automatically use my windows logon name and password" - and if i check that, i can see it sending the DOMAIN/computer name - which i don't want, but it shows that at least it's aware of the setting. i have read http://support.microsoft.com/kb/937123/en-us and my drivers are way newer than those (specifically both laptops have version 6.0.6001.18000 for all the dot3xxx.dll files). Have tried logging off, rebooting etc, nothing seems to make it pop up the UI for manually entering username and password. I also note that it wont ask me to verify the certificates either - which is usually requested (do not prompt user to auth new servers is _not_ checked etc.) any help appreciated, this is very frustrating ! thanks -jeff
