    Hello all,

    Has anyone experienced some odd behavior with Access Connections?

    For example, I have an office profile created which does not use wireless. I have override settings enabled, and IP information set.

    It transfers my IP address, DNS servers, and subnet information properly to Vista, but always neglects to fill in the field for gateway. Because of this, it can't find my network until I manually enter the gateway info into Vista's network center.

    Also - profile switching does not show my office profile; only my home profile. My home profile is configured to use best connection possible, and is primarly configured for my wireless environment.

    Thoughts or suggestions on what I can do to correct this?

    I had exactly the same problem - I tried every possible setting. The only way I could solve it was to uninstall Access Connections and use Vista configuration (ie, not a Vista problem, but an AC problem). Has worked flawlessly since. You can set a restore point and try it, if unsure...
