wireless router requires domain?

Hi, I just installed a wireless pc card on my Win98se
laptop to connect to our cable-internet router. (both
Netgear)

I'd like to suppress the network logon so my laptop will
boot right up (as it used to without the card) and stop
asking for a username, password and domain name. My
roommate who set up the router said we don't *have* a
domain, otherwise I would enter it and have Windows
remember it. I just press Cancel now.

I've set Networking up for Windows Logon, changed my
password to nothing, tried Tweak UI and I have no User
Profiles. But it won't let me skip the logon without
giving it a domain name (or manually cancelling).

Thanks. Al

Go to Control Panel | Network, click Client for Microsoft Networks in
the list of network components, and click Properties. Clear all of
the Windows NT Domain boxes on that screen.
