Ok, I need to clarify, with the laptop I run win xp pro and 3com wireless card, when I power up, the network assigns an ip address to the wireless connection. It runs fine.
On the pc, which is right beside the laptop I run win xp pro with an usb wireless adapter, now when I power up I have to click on the wireless connection icon and click refresh 3-4 times to get the network to connect and issue the ip address. It seems to be a problem with win xp pro and the netgear usb adapter. Tech at both microsoft and netgear point at each other and say its their problem, which doesn't fix the situation for me. I was wondering if anyone knew of a work around using this os and netgear usb adapter.
Thanks,
Mike
