| | wireless network connection Is ther a way to create two different wireless network connections where one would be used to connect to network at work with specific ip addresses and one would be general where an ip address could be obtained automatically? I realize only one could be enabled at a time. Thank you for any advice you could give. |

| | Re: wireless network connection Hi, Click start, type "network and sharing" and select the entry in the start menu. On the resulting dialog, click the option in the left column to manage wireless networks. Now click the 'add' button to create a second connection that you can customize. You can also set a preference for one over the other. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "JanetP" <JanetP@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:BD32C01D-0725-4D42-805B-3ABA6427768D@xxxxxx Quote: > Is ther a way to create two different wireless network connections where > one > would be used to connect to network at work with specific ip addresses and > one would be general where an ip address could be obtained automatically? > I > realize only one could be enabled at a time. > Thank you for any advice you could give. |

| | Re: wireless network connection Thanks for your advice. I'm sorry, but I do not see an add button. I am running Windows Vista Home Basic. Does that make a difference? Thank you.

| | Re: wireless network connection Hi, No, it's fine to be running Home Basic. The "add" button should be in the toolbar, signified by a large green "plus" sign after you open the manage wireless networks dialog. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "JanetP" <JanetP@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:928158D4-B99B-43CA-98B0-E99D9E1185D8@xxxxxx Quote: > Thanks for your advice.
