Our office environment includes a handful of laptops, IBM Thinkpad
t40p's and Dell systems, running WinXP SP2 with wireless cards in them.
Our office has a full wired network as well as some newly-added
wireless access points.
The laptops work fine when conected via CAT5 and they correctly switch
to wireless when that CAT5 cable is removed.
However, we're finding that they're unable to make the transition BACK
from wireless to wired once that CAT5 cable is re-attached. All network
connectivity freezes up unless you disable and then re-enable the
network connections.
Is there some common mistake I could be making in our configurations
that would be causing this? I would think that these systems should be
able to transition from wire to wireless (and back) seamlessly.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
