hi,

i'm using xp home on a notebook.

whenever i go to my favorite internet cafe, windows seems to have 'lost' the
connection (wireless) even tho' the password has not changed.

i have to "repair" the connection - no ip addess, or 0.0.0.0.

could this be  problem with my own configuration or is it just that the cafe
prob assigns a dynamic ip which must be 'renewed' at startup?

part of the problem is that i once installed Intel's proprietary wireless
mgr (they make the hardware i think), which was a real screwup.  since i
reconfigured XP to take over again, it's been better.  but never quite the
same.

any remarks or help would be greatly appreciated.
