Automatic, Manual, and On Demand?

I've been looking through the Windows XP's online help, Google, and
Grouples for an explanation of what these mean. I can sort of guess
what they mean, but only guess, and I'm not sure what happens in
different situations when you have a list of networks with different
settings. Thanks for pointing out any informative websites.

I'm also looking for where to control this setting. Currently looking
at the Wireless Network Connection Properties panel, Wirless Networks
tab, double-clicking the entries in the Preferred Networks list. In the
resulting (new) Properties panel, you can check the automatic box in the
Connection tab. That makes it "On Demand". But what about Manual? I'm
somewhat surprised that explicit explanations aren't in the online help.

Thanks if you can point out other sources...

Hi

Since it is a Wireless newsgroup, I would try to guess what you refer to
accessing Wireless networks.

If you are seeing in your Wireless available Networks many Networks that is
OK. However, the way to access them is up to the owner. Unless the owner
gives you the access parameters, you cannot, and should not access them.

If you have, you own Wireless Network with your own Wireless Cable/DSL
Router or Access Point you can configure it with your own parameters and
access them at your own will.
