how to delete defunct profiles in the connect to a network box
Dear All,
I have a small wireless network at home. It used to be unsecured with MAC address filtering but once I found that MAC addresses could be cloned, I replaced all my WAPs to be able to use WPA-2 encryption. Now vista retains the old unsecured profiles (even though it recognises them to be defunct) in the connect to a network box which appears when I move around the house and change the WAP I connect through. Any way of deleting the obsolete profiles? Regards AMcF |

Hi
Did you try to look at the wireless manger and delete the unneeded profile http://www.ezlan.net/vista/wireless_manager.jpg Jack (MS, MVP-Networking).
