Networks
My company are giving our home employees wireless routers for broadband. An issue has arisen where the Network authentication in the setup for our profile changes from Shared to open; this prevents them from having a connection to the router. They are using XP Pro SP1.
Does any one have any information on this?

Damien,
A question....
Can kind of router are you using?
Iif the router is making these changes on it's own I would check the manufacturer's web site to see if there are any postings regarding this problem and firmware patches/upgrades that might fix it.
Also check the settings under the Authentication Tab on the Local Connection Properties Box for the WAN card on the Laptops/PC's. There is a option to
"Enable network access control using ieee 802.1X". Make sure this option is turned off before using the 64 or 128 bit, open/shared encryption that the router uses. That causes hipccups and conection problems sometimes between the Wireless card and the router.
Let me know how it goes and good luck,
Carlitosway
