Thanks for your reply David ! Do you mean the "/" as a submenu, or as a "or/and" ? I can't find in either case.
I have Access Connections (AC) v. 5.61 compilation 81CX33WW. There is a "basic" and a "advanced" mode (the translations may not be exact). I use the advance mode. When I open a connection profile, there are 3 tabs : "General parameters", "Wireless parameters", and "Supplementary Parameters". The only place I see mention of MAC address recording is not in a given connection profile, but in the "Tools" tab of the main AC window. It's the green button "Location Changing" (right column, topmost). There is a "Modify saved ports" at the bottom of the window". But when you click on it, it appears to apply only to Ethernet cards (indeed, AC prompts me if I want to "save the connection" or something only when I plug a Ethernet cable. Further more, you have to check "automatic" at the top of the window. I think this is something else from what I am looking for. When I export a connection, the MAC of the AP is not in the text file. Did I miss something? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, May 18, 2010 2:15 PM To: Adrian Belu; [email protected] Subject: Re: [Thinkpad] WIFI manager for XP connecting by MAC rather than SSID ?(not Access Connections) Access Connections can certainly do this. Edit the connection, look for wireless settings/advanced configuration. It lets you enter a preferred MAC for the access point.
