I agree also with the problem with third party wireless management. It seems as though it waits until a user is logged on using cached credentials to enable the wireless connection. With Windows managing the connection, it seems like the connection is active immediately when the laptop is fired up. I don't know why you would want it the other way?? It would not allow a new domain user to log on with a wireless connection. Anyway hope that helps...

We ran into that here. All I did was either remove or disable that software, and then Windows took over control of the wireless, and I had no more problems. Sarah Sarah M.

We recently bought a mobile lab cart with 30 hp laptops and have nothing but problems with them. They came loaded with Vista Business and have plenty of RAM and processor speed to do what we need. Just never have any luck with printing to the printer on the cart, accessing the internet, loading up students personal drives and the mapped drives. I will log in as administrator, fix the wireless card and than log off and hand it to a student and then it will lose the connection. I log back on as administrator and will have to repair the wireless again. Anyone out there have some suggestions on what to try or can tell me who has no issues with wireless that i could come visit them before i decide to start throwing these laptops and not joking about them. PLEASE HELP ME BEFORE I GO NUTS!!!!!!!!
