humbletech99 Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Hi, I have a very silly problem. We have a bunch of dell laptops on XP Pro with wifi. The problem is the wifi doesn't come on until you have logged in, but of course being in a domain you need to have access to the network before you can log on to a network account!So far people have done cheap workarounds of plugging in cables, logging on the first time and then from that point on just using the cached credentials.This has annoyed me enough now to want to find a solution. Most of the wifi's are controlled by either the Intel wifi app or the in-built Windows Zero-G Configuration.Any ideas on what I should do to make the wifi come up before the log on?Perhaps this is only an Intel utility trait because the utility is only launched when the the user logs in whereas the Zero-G windows way is a service?

Scarecrow Man Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 I would recommend using the Windows Zero Configuration, as it is a service and will be loaded before the system logs in.Found this on a quick Google search:http://www.smallbusinesscomputing.com/webm...cle.php/3577111 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
