Just added a Netgear WG103 Wireless Access Point in our conference room to allow visitors to access the internet through out internal network. When switched on visitors can connect to the intenet and everything works fine.

Except, when the Access Point is switched on, normal users of the network get a Security Alert when they try to start Outlook 2007.

The Security Alert is the same as the one shown in question 148526 asked by desiny back in June 2010 (http://serverfault.com/questions/148526/outlook-security-alert-following-exchange-2007-upgrade-to-sp2)

rather than "autodiscover.ad.unc.edu" my security alert references our "Remote.server.org.uk".

If I view the certificate it relates to "Netgear HTTPS:....", but the only Netgear equipment we have is the new Access Point installed in the conference room.

If the Access Point is not switched on we do not get the Security Alert.

At first I thought it was because we had selected "WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK" Network Authentication Type but it continues to occur even if we opt for "Shared Key" WEP Data Encryption.

I do not understand why adding a Netgear Wireless Access point would cause Outlook to issue a Security Alert when users try to read their email.

Does anyone know what I have to do to get rid of the Security Alert?

Thanks in advance for reading this and helping me out.
