Wireless AP Issue
We have a wireless AP that does not broadcast it's SSID and one of our Vista
Machines has a problem with it. If we set it up to connect and give it the proper name and Wep Key. it works just fine. However when we leave and come back then it finds the access point as an unnamed network and you have to configure it again. Then I end up haveing a second connection Made over time we end up have Wireless Points configure to the same AP it would look like companySSID companySSID 1 companySSID 2 Any ideas are appreciated.

Wireless AP Issue
So, have you tried to make and save a profile in
"Manage wireless networks"? Or you just click on the unnamed tile and then enter the name and key when prompted? --PA "Mitch Roberson" wrote: We have a wireless AP that does not broadcast it's SSID and one of our Vista Machines has a problem with it.

Wireless AP Issue
I have the same problem. I made a profile in "Manage wireless networks", but
that doesn't help. When I cold boot the system it usually finds the AP, but when I returns from sleep mode it usually doesn't find the AP. "Pavel A." schreef in bericht ...

Wireless AP Issue
I have done both with the same results it only happens on Non Broadcasting
AP's Which I know is not recommended but convincing others of this will take time. "Mike" wrote in message ll.nl... I have the same problem.
