yes the date is correct.

The issue appears to be the certificate.
I have tried as below to the letter and still no joy.

Windows was unable to find a certificate to log you on to the network.
To specify the required certificate to logon the network, perform the
following steps.

Â*Â*Â* Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Network connections.
Â*Â*Â* Right-click the wireless network that is not connected, and then
click Properties.
Â*Â*Â* Select the Wireless Networks tab, select the desired wireless
network from the Preferred networks: field, and then click Properties.
Â*Â*Â* Select the Authentication tab, and de-select the Enable IEEE 802.1x
authentication for this network option.
Â*Â*Â* Click OK to save the settings, and click OK again to close the
network connection window.

Restart the notebook and try connecting to the desired wireless network.

Certificates are (sometimes) used in conjunction with with wifi networks
using 802.1x "Enterprise" style authentication rather than the more
typical AES / TKIP used on WPA and WPA2 networks. This type of
authentication is used when you want multiple users to be able to join a
network but each with their own unique set of credentials (typically
username and password, but could be other things) rather than a shared
wifi passphrase. Handy for not having to change the office wifi password
every time a staff member leaves.

Basically massive overkill for most home networks. By default windows
will assume a simpler authentication scheme needing just a passphrase.
Hence why "forgetting" any stored info about a wireless connection can
help - it gets rid of any more advanced setup options that may have been
inadvertently selected.

If you have got certificates enabled, then there is usually a tick box
you can find to turn off the attempt to validate a certificate. You
could try the following steps:

To disable IEEE 802.1x authentication:

Click Start, then select Run.

In the Run dialog box type ncpa.cpl and then click OK.

Right-click the Wireless network connections icon, and then select
Properties.

Click the Wireless network tab.

Click the Properties button beside Remove.

Click the Authentication tab, and clear the Enable IEEE 802.1x
authentication for this network check box.

Click OK to update the settings.
