Hi Windy George
You're right; it had changed the workgroup name but I still had the same
problem after I corrected that. It turned out, after I went to the trouble of
doing a clean install, that the Vodafone 3G card was somehow conflicting with
the wireless connection. Not sure why that is, given they now have a Vista
compatible driver for these cards, but there it is. So if anyone else uses
these cards on Vista, prepare for problems!!! (that won't come as a shock to
Vodafone users!)
