I have 3 computers networked in right now, all 802.11b, all winxp.

using netgear stuff on the other 2, and they are perfecto, and using netgear’s utils.

the tr is of course using the windows utility, basically it connects to my network, then after about 5-10 minutes, a window pops up that says “one or more wireless connections are available….” 

then i have to manually select my network and click connect again, wait a few seconds, and then it reestablishes an internet connection.

im warped, i got a mental block or something, what do i do?

This has been covered many many times…but you can try unchecking to use 802.11x authentication.

Here’s another thread that discusses it: http://www.siliconpopculture.com/sonytr/viewtopic.php?t=975&highlight=802+11+authentication
