Hello
I have WXP-Pro on my self built computer and also my laptop.
My laptop and desktop computers are WiFi-ed using a Netgear Access Point.
The access point is connected by cat 5 cable to a Direcway DW6000 (2-way satellite) modem.
My Desktop has a PCI Adapter installed and my laptop has a built-in WiFi capability.
I never turn my modem off. If I want to use the internet from my laptop, I just boot it up and I am connected. However, when I boot my desktop, it does not connect. If I go to DOS and use ipconfig /all, I am told that the media is disconnected. I have to reboot to get a connection.
This is a repeatable problem.
How do I fix this?
