Beta 2 won't connect to my wireless network

I have installed beta 2 on my Sony VAIO FS115s laptop. All is well apart
from the fact that I cannot connect to my network wirelessly, though I can
connect using a wired connection.

The laptop has an Intel Pro/Wireless 2200gb card and Vista indicates that
the driver is installed and supposedly working. My network utilitises 64-bit
WEP and I have entered the appropriate key.

The network is detected but when I tell Vista to connect I just get option
to Diagnose connection problems.

My question is, should I expect this configuration to work on beta 2?
If so, can you give me some advice on how I can get it up and running?

Thanks in advance,
John.
 
That is not helpful at all. Sadly, there seem to be a lack of drivers for
the Intel wireless 2200bg adapter.
 
John, I have exactly the same problem on my Toshiba M30X laptop with built-in
2200 BG.

I succeeded connecting after hours searching... the only thing to do for now
is to totally disable wep or wpa authentication on your access point. It
works, it's unsecure, etc... but it works !!

And excuse me for my poor frenchy english...
Regards.

I wonder if Microsoft will releasse a fix for this before they release the
final version of Vista.
 
Microsoft does not write drivers. They have to wait for Intel to
supply them. If Intel supplies working better drivers, then they will
be included. My bet is that RTM will have good Intel wireless drivers.

I have the same problem. I have a VAIO TX with an Intel Pro/Wireless 2200gb
and can't get the driver to work. PLEASE let us know any suggestions! The
