Laptop w/ windows xp, default connection?

[iwearnosox]

Someone here knows this I'm sure. Yeah, it's on topic, sue me and feed me to the pigeon staring me down across the way..

Anyhoo my laptop w/xp has started defaulting to the dialup connection rather than the 802.11 connection and it can't connect to the intarweb. Tried ipconfig /release, that doesn't work.

Suggestions?

ya

make sure you have the wireless connection up. it's defaulting to dialup because your wireless isn't configured correctly.

I thought that but it's not the case, I used a friend's LT to connect and it works fine..

I'm not on XP right now, but as I recall go into Tools/Options and click the Connections tab. Check (or uncheck) the box that says to dial for a connection.

Hope it helps.

Go into control panel - administrative tools and open up the services applet. Right click on the "Remote Access Auto Connection Manager" service and change it to manual start.
