Repost: D-LInk wireless PCI needs rescan every log on

no reply : - (

I have 2 D-Link wireless PCI adapters - DWL-G520 (using D-Link utility) running on a w2k and xp machine.

The connection works from the OS log on screen. When I log on to either machine, the desktop appears and then the wireless connection is dropped. I am required to rescan every time I log back on.

My laptop connects with a DWL G650, using Windows to manage the connection. No problems.

Setup

D-Link (DI-624) broadband wireless 'G' router. Infrastructure WEP open system 64 bit encryption. Mode is G with or without turbo. Both machines use D-Links config utility to manage connection.

Using the proprietary config utility, disable Wireless Zero Configuration. Also, broadcast SSID - this is often the solution to squirrely wireless connections.

Thanks for your help with this. I have been broadcasting SSID. In both the D-Link router and PCI wireless config utilities, there is no reference to zero config (though I remember it from my Linksys setup prior).

Can you tell me where this setting is found?

The Wireless Zero Configuration service can be found from All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Administrative Services/Services or the Administrative Services control panel/Services.
