Wireless Network Switching

[Newbie]

Hi All

Got a brand new laptop running WinXP Pro SP2.

Set it up to access a wireless network (no encryption - MAC control) in the
office and one at home (128bit WEP - no MAC control).

All done through WinXP's wireless part of the wireless network connection.

Using built-in WLAN card on a Fujitsu Siemens laptop.

Even though the Advanced properties shows 2 wireless entries (home then
office in the list), the laptop isn't auto-picking up the office after first
looking at the home connection.

I have to go into the Network properties / Adanced Settings / Wireless
Networks / etc and move the office entry up to the top for it to kick in.

The end user is taking it home to continue working on it and I've just got
this horrible feeling that they are going to have to go into the bowels of
the network connection to put the Home one back up to the top.

Surely the sys should check for the Home one, doesn't exist so move to the
next one, ie the Office one, or am I asking too much? :0)

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Is there any switch script/app I could use so that the end user just clicks
on the relevant one from their desktop?

Thanks

There is a group dedicated to wireless but the "Wireless Zero"
configuration tool seems to be able to do what you want on this machine. I
am unable to say what might be wrong with yours but it has been pointed out,
in this group, that you should not use the Windows and the OEM tools at the
same time.

HTH,
