Sometimes -- but only sometimes(!) -- when I log off
one user id and log into another, the wireless client
fails to reacquire the signal. Even rescanning
manually does not work. As a work-around, I disable,
then re-enable the wireless connection through the Control
Panel. But that is a nuisance. Also, I cannot do that
when I log into an account with only guest capability.
Any idea why the wireless client fails to reacquire the
signal? Any idea why the problem seems to be intermittent?
I used to think that this might be unique to my laptop,
which admittedly has a "screwy" config to meet the IT
requirements of my office. The reacquirement failure
would occur (though still inconsistently) when I switched
from a domain user id to a local user id.
In fact, my work-around for the guest id limitation is
to log into a local id with admin capability, toggle
disable/enable, then log out and log into the guest id.
But my son mentioned that he has the same problem with
his laptop, which is a "clean" Win XP Pro SP2 system.
