Wireless network connections in Vista

I've been noticing some buggy networking behavior in Vista, espeically when
connecting to a wireless network with a hidden SSID. This is after putting
the computer to sleep. It can be after changing networks or re-connecting
to the same network. I normally have to manually connect each time. It
will not connect automatically. Also When changing networks or moving
subnets on any wireless network Vista takes a long time to decide that the
interface is connected to the internet. Has anyone else been noticing this
behavior?

Thanks,
Andy Zirkel

RE: Wireless network connections in Vista

I have noticed that when i "wake" up my notebook it struggles to get an IP
address from my wireless router - not every time though.

I find that doing a ipconfig release and then renew resolves the problem and
is quicker than letting the Vista wireless stuff take care of it.

annoying though and it never happened when i was running XP

It's even worse for me, as it doesn't connect to my hidden SSID network and
I have to go through the process of connecting every time I wake the
computer up. Does anyone have the ability or know how to submit this as a
bug?
