Connection History

What's the connection history length? I've got a wireless network in the
office and I have a few laptop users who travel extensively. All of a
sudden, the connection info I had setup on their computers for our wireless
network is gone?! They haven't deleted it.

I perused their wireless network list and went to add a new connection (to
see if mine was there) and it was gone.

Any assistance would be of great benefit!

Thanks,

PeterB

Actually, I was wondering how many networks show up in the preferred networks
because I have a wireless network in the office and it's connection settings
disappeared. It seems that when using the Microsoft applet to control the
wireless, it adds found networks to the preferred networks and pushes those
already configured down in the list keeping the most recent on top.

How do I control this?

Thanks for your help though,

Peter

You will only have additional entries to the preferred networks list if you
successfully connect to the network. Are you clicking on these networks to
connect to them via the Available Networks UI?
