Windows Vista Connection Guide

Notes for Windows

1 - This guide is only applicable for when Windows is configured to manage your wireless hardware (known as Zero-Conf Networking). Third-party wireless software, such as included with Dell and IBM/Lenovo systems will interfere with this process and are NOT supported, though they may work if they support PEAP(EAP-GTC) and are configured correctly.

2 - Service Pack 1 is recommended for ANU-Secure on Windows Vista. You can download SP1 and other windows updates from the ANU Windows Update server without speed restrictions. See the WSUS page.

3 - The new pre-packaged installer fully supports all versions of Windows from Windows XP SP1. This includes Windows Vista and Windows 7, 32-bit and 64-bit.

4 - UPGRADING. Users who are already using SecureW2 may want to upgrade to the new installer package which also updates the supplicant to the latest version. Before following the steps below, uninstall SecureW2 from the link in the Start Menu before attempting to run the installer. When prompted to keep your SecureW2 configuration choose 'no'. Reboot before starting the install process.

SecureW2_ANU.exe
