Network problem

[Guest]

Got a w2k PC that's got wireless NIC. Works fine if booted into admin
account first. Logoff and log on users (power users) OK - Users loose the
systray icon for the NIC - or at least it behaves as though NIC dead. But
NIC up and running and working fine. But if boot and log into User, withough
loggin in as Admin first, then NIC really is dead.

If then logoff and log in as Admin, with no reboot, NIC starts, and it
generates the following entry in event viewer:
The system detected that network adapter D-Link AirPlus G DWL-G510 Wireless
PCI Card #2 was connected to the network, and has initiated normal operation
over the network adapter.

I think that the D-Link applet that runs in Startup is needed to start the
NIC, but if it runs in a User's startup it says it can't find the card. Even
if the card is running following an Admin start followed by User log in....

Any body advise me how to get W2k to allow users to log in and have working
wireless NIC?

Just a thought,

Elevate the user to an admin, install the NIC under the user's account. When
done remove the user from the admin group and test.

You might try posting in the Microsoft wireless newsgroup and emailing
D-link to see what they say. --- Steve
