XP2 Home and multiple user

Hi,

My laptop connects quite well to our Linksys wireless router when I log in
as one user, but when I log out of that user and log in as another user, I
loss the connection to the router.

It appears the system is trying to reset the TCP/IP address, and then it
fails and drops the router connection. Is there some way to keep the TCP/IP
address (other than fixed addresses) between users? Is there some other
setting I'm missing?

Does anyone have any ideas what's going wrong, or can you point me to some
white pages. Aside from having complete distain for MS's Home Products, I
would like to save what litte hair I have left, so if you could help me out I
would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

Mark
