Hey guys,
so I just installed win7 on my Dell XT laptop and its beautiful. I love it! So far i havnt had a single problem with it, but i have run into a barrier.

Getting wireless at my university requires connecting with the right logon password as well as choosing a Domain/Logon Domain. In Vista it brings it up under extra logon details (i forget exactly what the window is called, something like that). You type in AD or DU and the OS is able to setup the connection.

Ive been searching through the networking options/properties in Win7 and cannot find a place to let me input the Domain/Logon Domain. Anyone know what im missing here or where I can input this into the wireless connection properties?

thanks :)

Hey guys!

thanks very much i think that first suggestion might have worked! Ive at least got limited access as of a minute ago which is better than ive had so far. at least im connected hehehe

really excited to be playign around with win7 :) Anyone else had networking issues or advantages with Win7? As you average "i like playing with computers and i know a decent bit about them" networking is definately my weakest point :)
