Wireless Problem No Logging On To Network
I've just upgraded a laptop to XP SP2 but I can't seen to login to a network through the wireless but the wireless works fine once windows is logged on. Is there something I need to do first to get it to work??? Can anyone help me????

So far nobody's had much luck getting XP synchronous login to work with wireless, but here's Microsoft's article on disabling XP's "Fast Login Optimization" feature. The problems may have to do with whether XP or the client wireless software is managing the connection. If XP gets the connection established before login, the domain login should work. At least one wireless vendor, Broadcom if I recall correctly, has a feature that starts the connection sooner. Beware that - people have had to recover their machines after enabling it!

As I said, it's not clear that enabling synchronous login will fix the problem.
What the Microsoft article doesn't say is how to start the Group Policy Editor. That's done with Start/Run gpedit.msc
In the Group Policy Editor window, expand Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon.
Double-click Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon, select Enabled and click Ok.
Exit the Local Computer Policy management console.
