Thanks !
I performed a language change as suggested here : http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkVantage-Technologies/How-to-change-acce ss-connection-5-02-GUI-language-Picture/m-p/65089/highlight/false#M2748 However, this procedure does not add an area 5 (see attached). And there was no area 5 in the French version either. I have read that AC is able to tell in what country you are (based on IP) and will not take notice of the regional settings, or even OS language. Does it mean that in order to get the area 5 I need to install through a foreign based proxy? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, May 19, 2010 8:39 PM To: Adrian Belu Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Thinkpad] RE : WIFI manager for XP connecting by MAC rather than SSID ?(not Access Connections) Adrian, Choose to "edit" a profile. From the Wireless Settings tab, click the Advanced Settings button (in area #5 - "Advance configuration") this will open an "Advanced Wireless Settings" dialog box where you can supposedly set the preferred AP MAC addresses. I don't seem to be able to specify any data in those fields, but that may be due to the fact that I have only one AP on my home LAN.

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: <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] [mailto: <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, May 18, 2010 2:15 PM To: Adrian Belu; <mailto:[email protected]> [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.
