Hey guys and gals,
Just wondering if anyone could shed some light as to why my wireless connection is not recognised the first time I boot up, but if I restart, it works fine ? I'm using XP, SP2 and a generic wireless system. So far I've tried :
The most annoying thing is that it originally worked fine, then this problem just seemed to happen, not new software/hardware !
Any help greatly appreciated.

What sort of wireless system are you talking about? Ad hoc (wireless adptor to wireless adaptor) or do you use a router or access point in infrastructure mode? What make are the various components? Do the wireless network adaptors use their own setup or does windows manage the connection? What security are you using - e.g. WEP or WPA? What firewalls are you using?
802.11b
Using a router, but no central server, which is probably ad-hoc mode.
On my system, one 802.11b generic adapter (seriously, even the box gives no name). Same with the router and Access Point. Apologies, but it was all set up on a budget.
Not sure, probably configured through Windows from what I can remember.
No security, the IP address(s) are locked down on the router. No firewall, as (I thought) the router would be able to prevent most unrequired access.
Many thanks,
Dan
