You need to know what type of encryption is being used: WEP, WPA or
WPA2.


Vista doesn't need to be told this, it works it out.


I don't know an OS that can't work it out, so no, you don't need to know what
method is being used.

What may be needed though, is the SSID. A router can be set to not broadcast its
SSID, so if you cannot see it in the wireless network browser, then you need to
enter it manually.
