Reconnect to wireless connection

[Jim Sant]

Hi,

I have a laptop with built in wireless capability running Windows XP Home
Edition. The system works great but sometimes I am accessing a really weak
signal and my system seems to lose the signal and disconnects. When this
happens I am alerted that I am offline and given the opportunity to
reconnect, but if I click on the reconnect it tries to reconnect with a dial
up connection.

How can I set up my XP such that if I drop or lose my wireless connnection I
can reconnect to wireless without having to turn my computer off and on
again (which works for the reconnect).
