Linksys WAP54G & WMP54G

Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

I wonder if you could shed some light on this problem.

I am running a WAP54G to connect a machine (win2000) to my LAN, the machine
is using a WMP54G PCI card.

I have set the Wireless Configuration service to start automatically and
added the Wireless G PCI Monitor to the startup menu.

When I reboot the machine the WMP54G connection doesn't come up until I log
on to the machine.

This machine is accessed by me remotley, I need the connection to come up
without needing to log in to windows first as without the connection I
cannot log in.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Regards

Paul Moreland

there is also a utility which will allow it to run as a service. a
service in windows nt/2k/xp runs even when no-one is logged on unlike
an application which only runs when someone is logged on.

it is called SRVANY.EXE
