    zx5000 users,
    Have you downloaded the latest Service Pack from Microsoft? I installed it the other day and have lost some Windows functionality. Before SP 2, I could sit back and watch my laptop autoMAGICally detect my wireless router or establish an ad hoc connection with my (unsupported, no Pocket PC 2003 SE update) new iPAQ h4355. However, after the update, I have to use the Broadcom applet in the Control Panel to MANually configure connections. Has anyone else noticed this? I would consider this a change for the worse and not the better...

    zx5000 users,
    Should I assume from the lack of responses to this post that

    a) others have not downloaded and installed SP 2

    or

    b) others have not had the same problem I am having?

    Let me know.

    Jeremy T.

    I installed SP2 on my Fujitsu and it didn't have any effect on my wireless. You might try posting in the general networking forum to see if anyone else has the same issue.
