WPA wireless Wi-Fi Protected Access not working

[flex4god]

I have installed a lite version of XP Pro using nlite on my Eee PC 901. Overall, the lite version works great, and takes about 500 MB of previous SSD space as opposed to 3GB with the included XP Home. However, the Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is not working on a network that worked before with the the included XP home. It simply does not bring up the "enter credentials" pop up box and so does not collect the user name and password, and therefore never connects. It is the Secured password (EAP-MSCHAPv2) method that the network requires. Even wierder, the standard WEP with encryption key works fine.

Any ideas how to fix this? Did I remove some needed functionality with nLite? If so, what is it so I can put it back? Or do I need a patch from Micro$oft for this issue?

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

flex4god,

Please attach (not paste) your LastSession.ini so people here can see what you removed. Someone may be able to help you.

Enjoy, John.

As mentioned your LastSession.ini would help, or multiple ones if you did it in steps. Off top of the head, did your XP Pro have SP3 integrated before you started trimming? And are you using WPA or WPA2?

Before SP3, XP Pro only had support for WPA (not WPA2) built in by default. You needed a separate optional update to add in WPA2 support. SP3 fixed this by adding default support for WPA2 into XP Pro.
