I have a wireless network (as well as a physical one) at home. Unfortunately we have two XP laptops which need to use this. Frequently, they will claim that they are not connected to the network (when, in fact, they are, and are usable), or that passwords haven't been entered (when they have). I often see a "not connected" message, with a "disconnect" button enabled. So far, I have not seen a reproducible pattern to this behaviour. Needless to say, Macs just need a password the first time, and then connect forever. Bah! A.
