OK this is weird,

Had the table (tc100) running on a wireless network at home for 7 months,
installed sp2 and now if I remove the mains power I lose the network? put
the power back and up it comes again.

I have installed the two driver updates from HP for the Intel chipset but
this has had no effect. I thought it was a power thing so I tried to
overrule them and give max to all settings, still nothing!

I have removed SP2 but no change, I am trying to re-install it again as I
type.

Any ideas??

Thanks

Check your Power Options in Control Panel and/or the adapter settings in
Device Manager/Network Adapters. I would believe you probably have a
setting which shuts down the wireless when you switch to battery operation
as a conservation method.

That was my first thought, I have no settings for the NIC in power options,
and any settings in the cards drivers are set to max.

is there a hp app that over rules any settings?

its driving me potty!!

I don't know, Mark. You might try contacting Compaq/HP support. It would
be interesting to hear what they say.

I have a TC1100 and SP2. No problem with the wireless. No special settings.
No utility.

I also have installed SP2 with no problems over wireless networking, batttery or mains.

Does the wireless networking LED go out when you unplug the mains?

(in answer to the question it stayed on, it was all very strange!!)
