Re: Wireless Notebook and LAN connection

Great :-) So it consistently does one and not the other (actually it
would be better if it skipped the one it's mapping) :-)

On the notebook it has the WAP information saved and connects to that
whenever Windows decides to recognize it.

Thanks,

Chuck

It's not weird, and completely normal and expected behaviour.

The user share is a Active Directory attribute, and is only mapped
when the machine can contact a DC. Persistent network connections
however are restored after user logon is completed - at which point
the WLAN link is up and running.

Well, what kind of authentication are you using for your wireless LAN
today?
