Hi all,
I have kind of a wierd problem. I have to periodically connect to a
wireless lan which was set up with multiple base stations having the
same SSID. The trouble is they are not symmetric and I have to attach
to a particular one for certain purposes. The problem is that, 9
times out of 10, I get connected to the wrong one even though I select
the correct station (by its BSSID) from the network list.
I have complained about the situation, but I have little hope that it
will be resolved soon - nobody else seems to be affected. My only
solution has been to pick up everything and physically move closer to
the correct station when I need to access it. It only happens a
couple of times a week, but I'm getting tired of it nonetheless.
My computer is running XP Home and the wireless gear is Linksys 54g.
Does anyone know a way to force the connection to a particular base
station?
Thanks,
George
