Broadcasting issue with Vista

Question

I am having an issue with Vista and my wireless connection. My laptop will not connect unless I am broadcasting. As soon as I disable broadcasting I lose my connection. Is anyone else having this problem or know a solution. Dell has already told me there is no patch for this problem.

Believe me I have done everything that needs to be done over and over to get this thing to work. I am thinking that it is a glitch in Vista. I just wish I could get them to help me.

well under network sharing center then manage wireless network, right click on your network and go to properties and check the box that say connect if network is not broadcasting.

The fix has been posted numerous times on this forum.  (I don't use Vista, but I do read the messages on the forum!)  The fix is that you have to create a profile in Vista to connect to a non-broadcasting wireless network.   Steve
