Is it possible to force Vista to perform Computer Authentication for Wireless
Connections instead of User Authentication? You can do it in XP but I can't
even find a place to tell the Vista machine to Authenticate the computer
first before the user logs in. Is this functionality totally gone in Vista?

Yes, you can configure Vista clients to use computer authentication. What
kind of authentication infrastructure and what authentication methods are
you using?
