[H] PCMCIA wireless NIC with antenna

2006-07-11 Thread Winterlight
I am thinking about getting one of these, primarily because it has an 
antenna port, which is a must for me, anybody have any other 
recommendations ?

Anybody think wireless "N" is worth the large premium price?

thanks

Sounds like to me that the 2k machine is has the User set to change pwd every 
60 days or so.  Change that to never change & once you map the drive\folder to 
XP it's stay permanent but believe me you do NOT want to remove the password 
prompt by not having a pwd as Windows will remember the pwd once the share is 
mapped you just have to make sure the UN on the 2k machine isn't requiring the 
user to change their pwd.


First, make sure Simple File sharing is off:  Tools -> Folder Options -> 
View -> Advanced Settings:  Use Simple File Sharing (Recommended) 
UNCHECKED.


from a command prompt:

net use F: \\server\sharename /USER:username password /persistent:yes

(That is from memory -- it should be close)
