Hi

 

I have a Inspiron 510m, and a Linksys WAP11 connected to a BT Voyager 205 modem router.

 

When I first purchased the above setup the wireless card automatically picked up the WAP, connected to it and everything worked fine. I run Windows XP home and have 2 user accounts and could have had both logged on at the same time.

 

After a couple of months, the wireless connection suddenly dropped. Not sure what happened but I ended up resetting the WAP. After that the 510m wouldn't automatically connect to the WAP and I had to go into the settings of the wireless adapter and manually input the details of the connection to be picked up. I had to do this for each user account. The result of this is that while I can log on OK as one user, I now cannot have both users logged on at the same time. If I'm logged on as one user and and try to "Switch User" to the other user the settings for second user loads but the wireless adapter does not pick up anything and has a red cross over it on the task bar. I have to log the first user off before I can log the second one on.

 

It's not the end of the world, I know, as I'm still able to connect one user at a time, but I'm curious as to what has happened from the orinigal set up and if it can be restored again.

 

Thanks

AL
