Cannot connect to Wireless-Webportal using Vista

Hi all,

I know this is an XP newsgroup but I couldn't find the VISTA equivalent yet.
We use a wireless guest solution that redirects wireles clients to an
SSLenabled (verisign certificate) Web-portal to supply their credentials
before they can continue to browse the internet. This all works fine on XP
with IE6 and IE7.

Using Vista we are unable to get to the Web-portal page. We have tried many
different settings but where not succesfull. Does anyone have an idea why
this does not work anymore ?

Many thanks

Martijn

Isn't Vista new enough that you can get free help from Microsoft? I've been
trying for over a month to get help with XP networking here and only made
matters much worse.

Martijn,

Why not expand a bit on "we are unable", "where not succesfull" (sic), and
"tried many different settings". We are techies here, and do not read minds
well.
