Greetings.

I would like it if XP would report LAN locations

as Local Area Network ... like WinME does;

however, both my XPP & XPH laptops

report my LAN locations as "The Internet".

Why is it that cruddy, old WinME correctly

reports LAN locations as LAN but XP does not?

More importantly, could I do something

so that XP would report LAN locations as LAN?

I have three laptops - XPP, XPH & WinME.

I use ethernet not with TCP/IP but rather IPX/SPX.

When I use TCP/IP for etherLAN, I cannot connect

to the internet with my wLAN cards with TCP/IP.

If I remove the etherLAN TCP/IP, the wLANs work fine.

This of course could be or is a separate question ...

In any case any insights appreciated.

Thank you.

IE7 is installed ?

I have similar problem with Windows XP PC with IE7 installed: local lan are reported "Internet area".

No problem with Windows XP and IE6.

Greeting.

Formidable!

Je vous remercie.

IE7 was installed but is no longer.

I never use IE anyway.

I use Opera & sometimes Mozilla.

Who knows what complications

SP3 will bring. SP3 rendered one

of my pcmcia WLAN card driver utilities

nonfunctioning, but the manufacturer

released a fix right away ...

Merci encore.
