It depends on what you want to accomplish. Windows XP will connect to the first network in the preferred order as defined in your wireless network settings for which it has coverage. If you have separate SSID there will be separate entries in the settings and the top entry might not be the one you want to use. Not too much of a problem for a stationary computer where you could move the closest SSID to the top but for a laptop there is likely to be a lot of fiddling with the network settings. Clients on other operating systems might work differently and hold on to the network for as long as it can even if there is stronger signal from another network. I don't think there is a standard in this area so it has the potential of being really muddy. -- bergek Transporter - Squeezebox 3 - Serener GS-L02 - Via EPIA SP8000 - Ubuntu 6.06 Server ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bergek's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7805 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30347 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
