Seems to happen quite a bit switching between the two wireless networks i use, using Microsoft wireless zero config....

Sometimes i get invalid ip (0.0.0.0), Othertimes i get Automatic Private IP addy and the connection of course subsequenly dosen't work....

Typically repairing the connection proves useless, i have to reboot.

IBM T41 w/ IBM 2200bg

Not every Wireless Network that its signal is detected is Publicly Opened or has DHCP etc.

WZC can be configured to specific Network with specific security log in, or just to connect with No security to any Hot Spot available as Free Hot Spot.

Sorry, im not talking about just any wireless signal i can find, i should have mentioned that im switching between my home wireless network (64 bit encryption) and my schools wireless network (shared key, using certificates, PEAP)
