    How do i shut this off? i have the switch in the front of mine... can i make it so that if that's on, wireless is always on instead of the computer making its own decision? I have the laptop plugged in also, I dont know why they would ever have it shut off. I have to do fn+f5 to turn it back on again. I thought originally that it was just after i came back from screen saver, but now it just simply shuts off while i am using it. This hasnt been the case in the past, just the past day or 2 of using it.

    I could never get Thinkvantage Access Connections to stay connected on my T61p. I uninstalled Access Connections, and used Vista wireless configuration, and it works perfectly. I don't know which OS you have, but Access Connections does not work well with Vista.
