On a Windows Vista-based computer, a wireless connection that uses an invalid WEP key may incorrectly display a “Connection Successful” message even though the connection is not successful

On a Windows Vista-based computer, you change a wireless connection from a wireless access point that uses a valid Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) key to another wireless access point that uses an invalid WEP key. Then, the connection status may incorrectly display a “Connection Successful” message. However, the wireless connection is not connected.

In this scenario, either of the following messages should be displayed:

Connection Unsuccessful
Windows cannot connect to Wireless Access Point
