My wife has a laptop with a built-in wireless card, and somewhere along
the line it lost the ability to remember more than one wireless network
configuration.
We have wireless networks set up at home and at her workplace, and she
can connect to the network at home by bringing up the wireless network
configuration window, clicking Advanced, and manually adding the home
network's SSID and WEP key. When she goes to work, she does the same to
connect to the network there. But when she gets home, WinXP no longer
connects automatically to the home network, and we need to manually add
the SSID and WEP key again; then, it no longer remembers the work network.
It used to be able to remember both networks and automatically connect
to whichever was nearby, and it's very frustrating that it can't. Any
idea what can be done to fix it? A re-install of WinXP Home didn't fix
the problem. Has some file or registry entry become corrupted?
Thanks for any help on this,
