Hi Barb,
I have not been able to locate the checkbox in the
Network Properties to make sure that Windows manages the
wireless connection, but that may be a result that I do
not have a WiFi network here right now. I'll check again
tonight.
However, I changed the Wireless Zero Configuration
service from manual to automatic, and at least I have my
Cancel and Advanced buttons back in the Wireless Network
Connection dialog. That looks better already. I will have
to check tonight whether the network will work again.
I'll report back to you, but thanks for now!!
Swier.
