Wireless Problem in Windows XP!

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

Don't know about the Guru...but try this:
In the wireless config "advanced" set the preferences
to "only connect to infrastructure"
Disable the "automitically connect to non-prefferred
networks"
Make sure that your AP is the only one listed in the
prefferred networks.
That should do the trick !
