Wireless problem - 2nd PC won't connect

[slapmatt]

I have a wireless router (Linksys WAG54G) and a wireless PCI card in my PC. Everything works fine.

My girlfriend now tries to connect her PC to my wireless network using a Belkin USB wireless stick. It can connect to the network OK using the XP Network Wizard jobbo, but when you restart the PC it doesn't pick up the network and you have to remove the stick and insert it again to make it auto connect.

Am I missing a setting or flag somewhere? My network is set up as the preferred network, so why doesn't it auto-connect?

Cheers

Try this:

Start - Connect To - Show all Connections

Right click on the Wireless Network Connection and choose Properties

Click the Wireless Networks tab

Under Preferred Networks, select the Wireless Network you are trying to connect to and select Properties

Under the Connection tab, tick the Connect when this wireless network is in range box.

Cheers - I'll try that later!

OK - I tried that. I got as far as...

"Under Preferred Networks, select the Wireless Network you are trying to connect to and select Properties"

but... she doesn't have a "Connection" tab.

I've checked my PC - and it's there. She has XP Pro, could this be a Service Pack 2 thing?
