I am using some US Robotics 802.11g wireless USB cards on Windows XP SP2
machines. There are many users that use the machines with limited access
and therefore to activate the wireless link when the machine has been turned
off for example there is a user account that they can log into so that the
wireless will become active. Every now and again the wireless may drop its
link and this means it needs re-connecting but when trying to log on to the
account created for this purpose and also the Administrators account on the
network the message "<domain name> domain is not available". This is fixed
by logging onto the local user account, deleting the accounts in question and
then recreating them by logging back into them once the wireless is active.
There have been thoughts that this could be a problem with Active Directory
and these account are becoming untrusted. Any help would be welcome on this
as it is becomming a more common problem.
