Greetings Peter,

Open the Network Connections folder and right-click the Wireless Network
Connection and choose Properties. What protocols do you have installed?

I have same problem. I have XP Pro with SP2 ... File & Printer
sharing,TCP/IP, and Client for MS Networks. My wireless works fine, but when
I'm on the road, I want to disable from any possible nets such as
peer-to-peer.
