Actually, I found that for Windows XP, it sometimes retains the network info. In some cases, I've had to help them manually switch networks. In and DOS box, ipconfig /release, ipconfig /renew usually brings up the current network. In Linux with network manager, you can usually switch networks easily, with some caveats. I've had some cases where I could not connect to my work network no matter what I did in software, but a reboot fixed it. (Actually, reloading the the driver might be part of the solution). -- -- Jerry Feldman <[hidden email]> Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id: 537C5846 PGP Key fingerprint: 3D1B 8377 A3C0 A5F2 ECBB CA3B 4607 4319 537C 5846 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
