RE: Additional Logon Information Required?
Has anyone answered this issue? I'm having the same problem.

I have a Linksys WRT600N wireless router.

One Vista computer (my main PC) can log on, three XP computers can log on,
but I've brought 3 new laptops into the house and all of them ask for
"additional log on information", i.e. user name, password, and domain. I set
up the router and there is no user name, password or domain in the settings.

Linksys support says that since the router is working with the other
computer's it has to be a Vista issue, but who knows. It's possible that I
have the router security settings wrong but I've tried many things including
open vs. shared, etc. Is it possible that there is some sort of
administrator privileges that need to be bypassed in Vista?

Any help is certainly appreciated.
