How to create Profiles with the TM1300

What exactly do you mean when you say 'profiles'? Are you referring to hardware profiles? If so, right click on 'My Computer', choose 'Properties', select the 'Hardware' tab, then click the 'Hardware Profiles' button. You can set any profiles needed from there.

I Need to make profiles so i can boot up and choose eather my home setup, or my office setup, so i dont have to keep changing my settings back and forth. I heard that most wireless cards allowed you to "Setup a profile" so you can do just that.. I've never used the hardware profile used in windows so If thats it, i must of been mistaken.. Im not sure at all

I don't know if that will help either. Only way I know how to have different settings for different places. (For a while, my wife wanted a larger dpi on my laptop display, I preferred the default 96dpi. Since I didn't want to change it for her each time she used the system, I set up a profile for me and one for her. Of course, that requires a reboot each time...).

What do you need differently at office and at home? There may be other ways to do what you want.

I have a wireless network at home and at work. At work I have WEP encryption. At home, no encryption. Different SSID's. Computer automatically switches when I change location. The networks you use repeatedly should be in the 'Preferred Networks' box in your settings. Right click on the connection, choose 'Properties'. Select the 'Wireless Networks' tab. You should see a box labled 'Preferred Networks'. That should contain the home and work wireless connection SSID. Click on the 'Advanced' button. Since you want to connect to Infrastructure and Ad Hoc networks, select the 'Any available network (access point preferred)' radio button. Again, since you want connection in Ad Hoc mode, check the 'Automatically connect to non-preferred networks' checkbox.

On the question of Network name. Are you referring to the Workgroup name? If so, that requires a reboot to change. You could possibly change that in a Hardware Profile -- don't know since I haven't tried that.

I set my home Workgroup to be the same as my work Workgroup for convenience. However, you should still be able to access resources in a workgroup different from your current setting.
