Im presently here at a place where there are a lot of access points, ie., hotspots.
However, whatever I do, from soft resets, etc., i just cannot make my WM2003 handheld connect... and it is pain - what use is having a built-in wiFi connection then?
this only confirmed my worries - Zero Config is USELESS once in the presence of lots of WiFi APs... basically i never get this problem whenever im in a place that has only ONE AP...
does anyone know of a way to get past this inherent limitation of the OS (Zero Config), and allow me to manually connect to my preferred networks? what work-arounds have you used? any usable third-party software?
having this automation is driving me crazy, and i feel that M$ did another botched-up lackluster thing...
thanks a million...

Well it is sort of a pain to do it, but here is what you do:
First turn on your WiFi card. Go to your start menu, then settings, then go to your system tab. You should see a number of access points listed. Tap and hold the one you want and choose "connect to"
PS if you notice down at the bottom of this screen. There is a "automatically connect to nonpreferred networks " setting. Make sure that is unchecked.

brad,
thanks for the immediate reply...
and yes, ive been doing that ever since - however, for no apparent reason...
well, to explain:
when i choose "connect to," it shows that it is "trying to
connect to... however, it goes back to being "connection
possible" but not actually connecting
as for the checkbox, even though i have that, unchecked,
non-preferred networks still show up (if possible, i would
like to get rid of this)
