I have a Dell Latitude D520 with integrated Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Wireless with Vista Ultimate SP1. I’m using WEP with the SSID unbroadcast. I have set the wireless connection up and checked the boxes to ‘Save this network’ and ‘Start this connection automatically’ but when I reboot the machine it will not reconnect to the wireless access point – I have click ‘connect’ on the ‘Unidentified Network’ in ‘connect to a network’ and then type in the SSID and HEX security code every time my laptop starts up. This is doing my head in!! What am I missing? Can anyone help? I have a suite of laptops running XP and all are setup on this wireless network and connect without any problems. Signal strength is never below 80% and link quality is about 90%. Everytime I reboot I have to set up my wireless network again. I have downloaded the latest drivers from Intel to no avail. There doesn’t seem to be a connection manager with the new Intel software so it’s using the Windows set.

.......on a test server. So far so good. It still works after applying SP2 and the latest updates. It's made the project late but at least the powers that be can see it up and running, so don't have to slacken off the purse-strings (just yet, anyway!) and I've got until Easter to deploy it. Thanks to all on this post and other threads for the valuable info. If anyone wants a copy of the CD i made, I'll be happy to post one or two out.

Thanks for the link. I did read it and it didn't work, however............... I reinstalled Nero 6 and followed Phantomphan's directions (yet again!) and it worked!!!! What the firk's that all about? Anyway, a big 'phew' and many thanks. Here goes......

Hello! This is my first post so I apologise for any newbie mistakes or reptitions........ I need to get a copy of learning network manager that actually works (i.e. it boots the server and gets the process going). I'm no expert but I am fairly comfortable with 'technology' but at the same time I know when to ask for help.....Help! I've been tasked to setup a server for a primary school environment as quickly as possible. This is my first major (for me!) task and given my lack of knowledge and experience in building from scratch, the LNM seemed like a great way to get a system up and running fast that I could study and tweak afterwards. I've had a look through the lnm section and downloaded the iso but i can't get it to boot the server. I've used iso buster and ensured that the CD is made 'bootable' but it's not happening. The best I've got is the server boots to an A: prompt (?!), which I think is the default boot disk software within the burning software (NTI Gold). I've tried various flavours of Nero without success. I'm running out of time and need to produce something by the end of half term. Can anyone lend, send, give, sell me a copy of lnm that will get me up and running please? I'm happy to download it from your site or usend etc. I would be very grateful for any help. Many thanks in advance.
