Unable to connect wireless as "Domain Network"

Hi,

Vista allways defaults a wireless NIC on a domain computer to "Public
Network" instead of "Domain Network". On Windows Server 2008 this is allways
done correctly. The NIC and driver is identical, and so is the network setup.

How do I force Vista to recognize that the computer on which the wireless
NIC is attached is a domain computer and must be "Domain network" connected.?

RE: Unable to connect wireless as "Domain Network"

It was all in the IP assignment!

Windows Server 2008 was assigned static IP and the Vista dynamic/DHCP. With
DHCP IP Vista assumes non-domain network for some reason, despite host being
a domain member. As soon as static IP was assigned, the correct network type
was assigned, and full domain access restored.
