I have installed a Belkin AP that successfully gets its IP address via
DHCP.
My Sony Vaio laptop using XP Professional normally connects to the
network through a wired Ethernet connection.
When I atttempt to use the Wifi connection I can see and use the
network printer successfully. I can see the server and any other
machines that are active on the domain. But I cannot get into the
data on them.
I assume that my Laptop has failed to join the domain properly but
cannot figure out how to determine what has gone wrong and then fix
it.
[Reading another thread suggests to me that the other NICs in the Vaio
may be the problem because they are active with an IP address in the
same subnet. If this is the case (a) why does the printer work? (b)
how can I automate the turning off of the NIC in a way that my user
will be able to handle. ... ]
