My problem is with system #4.
I originally had one user account. I was able to setup the wireless connection with the Leadtek utility and am able to connect to the router and internet with it. I then setup three more accounts with Administrator priveleges. These accounts will NOT access the router or the internet. I tried setting up the Leadtek software in each account but that does not work. It is seeing and connecting to my router, but not letting me through.
My question is...
Is there a way to set up this wireless connection on this desktop (#4) or any other computer on my "network" to have multiple accounts log onto the router without needing different profiles in the wireless software.

Thanks in advance,
Philip
 
Is there a specific reason your not using XP's native utility? What are you gaining I guess is what I am wondering. XP's, especially assuming your patched to SP2, is typically all you need really. Unless you have signal quality issues and the Leadtek utility provides this for you.
