I have a home wireless network. My desktop machine has a network card and USB wireless adaptor, the laptop has a modem and PCMCIA wireless card. On the desktop, it always tries to use the network card unless I disable it in the control panel, even if I tell the OS to use wireless. The laptop will try to use the wireless card unless I disable it in control panel, even if it is not plugged in. Needless to say, both my soft and hardware are steam powered, which may have much to do with it. ----------------------------------------- Email sent from www.virginmedia.com/email Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software and scanned for spam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
