wireless problem with regular users

I have a Belkin 54g router and pci card. WEP and MAC address filtering are
enabled. When booting my computer and logging on as a regular user, the
wireless connection is available but no connection is made. This is only
possible after logging in as an administrator, logging out, and logging in
as that user. What can the cause of this be? How do I resolve it? OS:Win2k

clearly a driver problem from belkin.

Solution: Throw out the pci-card, and buy a non-belkin one.

OR: try to convince belkin to update their software.

P.S: because of this bug it is not possible to logon on to a domain
without having logged in first locally on your pc as administrator.

Or just copy the users profile to the administrator's profile ...

Now this interests me: what do you mean?
make the user an administrator?
or do you know the exact thing i need to do with my
registry/settingsfiles/??? to make my NIC work _without_ logging in?

You could try making the user an administrator. And if that doesn't work
out, try looking in c:\ > Documents and Settings
Normally everything of the user profile is stored in there, so you could
try copying settings from the Administrator to the normal user.

(never tried it myself, but I would look in that direction)

I have done this:

installed (freeware) version of FireDaemon
made a service which lauches %windir%\bcwltry.exe at boottime
and problem is solved.
pc is now even reachable without being logged on, which is exactly what
i want.

I downloaded the 2.00.07 (europe except france) version of the firmware of
my Belkin PCI-card and the problem seems solved! Yeah!
