Although this isn't Vista related, it is kinda 'doze related to non beaconing and WEP access points. I have a couple T42's dual booting between XP and Warp CP2, a T23 with a WG511T I think I finally got reliable on Warp (think it was STACK32 that finallydid it), a 600e with an older WG511 'doze only G card, and several wired machines. So I have some experience with this particular network topology. Now on the T42's I have no problems using the built in adapter connecting with Warp wirelessly, but on one of them under XP it refuses to connect to my WEP non beaconing AP. However, hat particular one will connect to my public totally open "guest" hotspot. Both the WEP non beaconing router and the totally open guest router are NetGear 614s running in G mode only. On that 'doze T42 running Thinkpad Access Connections, when I unplug the wired connection from a "best available" profile, or set up a Wireless only profile for that subnet, Access Connections attempts but always fails the wireless connection to the WEP router. If I switch to the "public" profile, it connects just fine to the other router. (DHCP in all cases. I even tried an appropriate hard coded address) On the other hand, the other T42 doesn't have this problem at all. And Warp has no problems either with the wireless connection. Any idea what might be causing the problems on that one T42 when accessing that 1 router wirelessly from XP? (even from 10 feet away). I've cut and pasted the hex keys several times, etc. When I have to run XP on that one wirelessly on that particular subnet, I end up plugging in a pocket bridge into the wired port. I just kinda chalk it up to 'doze never liking me... <g>

Thanks in advance (I hope I haven't hijacked this thread too much)
