WiFi problems with multi user laptop

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

I have a multi user laptop with a WifFi connection.
But we switch users often because we have only 2 computers.

Each time a new user logs on , and the old one logs off , the WiFi
connection is terminated , and it needs to reconnect on the logon of
the other user.

How can I make it so that Windows XP keeps my WiFi connection alive
when we are changing users? I try’d contacting Linksys support , but
they told me it was a Operating System issue , so I needed to contact
my vendor.

Or , how can I make it so that Windows XP connects to a standars WiFi
network , and that the Xp Zero Config checkbox is auto checked in my
driver controll panel?

Thanks in advance!

T.E.

Log on as admin, connect., Switch users with the "Fast User Switching" option. All other users can log off and on.
