Marc Beaule - You are awesome! I was on the phone with ATT for hours trying to resolve this issue. Finally, they wanted to escalate my call and charge me $149 or $15/month for the escalation service. I said "no thanks, I'll Google it and figure it out myself". I found you and your resolution steps and WHALA I'm back online. THANK YOU!

Hi Trish,
That error message can pop up if you're running IEEE 802.1x authentication, but are not actually in a 802.1x (EAP) environment.
Please goto Start --> Programs --> Accessories --> Communications --> Network Connections --> Right-click your Connection and select Properties --> Click on the Authentication tab --> Disable / uncheck the option IEEE 802.1x authentication for this network. Now, try to connect to your Wireless network; are you able to? (Note: you may need to restart the computer.)

I have the same problem--I get the message about not being able to find a certificate to log on to the network. But my screen for IEEE 802.1x is all greyed out. So I can't check or uncheck anything. What do I do?
Thanks!
I had the same problem when I went to uncheck the IEEE 802.1x and it was greyed out. I clicked the Association tab and wrote everything down. Then I clicked cancel and went back to the page where I found the my wireless network and selected the Add button. That took me to a page with 3 tabs: Association (which came up first), Authentication and Connection. Instead of starting with Association, I chose Authentication. It was not greyed out that time. I unchecked the Enable 802.1x authentication for this network. Then I selected the Association tab and proceeded to reenter my Network SSID and further Info. Worked like a charm. But, Make sure you make note of how the settings were on the Association page before you start the process. No need to try to figure how things were before. Finally, this will replace your wireless network settings for you network on that list. there will not be 2 there even though you technically added another one.
I have this same problem, yet as soon as I choose WPA2, the IEEE 802.1x box is checked and greyed out again. I've tried adding the network again as suggested, but the problem still occurs. Does anyone have any suggestions?
