Hi,

I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me here. I've got a problem with the wireless connection. I went to check to see if i could configure the wireless setting under network connections. When i right clicked on the wireless network connection, there usually would be three tabs on the top namely General, wireless network and Advanced. However, all i could find were only General and Advanced. The wireless network tab seems to have been missing.

I ALSO checked to see if the user has the administrator permission in the user accounts under control PANEL and it said computer administrator. So i believe the user is the administrator.

I don't know how to work around this. Could anyone help me on this?

Note: when i login as administrator, the wireless connection works like a charm without any problems at all. This problem only occurs when i login as someone but that someone is also the administrator. What's the difference here? very bizarre.

BTW, the machine runs on windows XP Pro.

Thank you in advance Home computer?Hi Viking,

Yes, it's a home computer. The wireless connection tab APPEARS in the wireless network connection under control panel when only logging in as administrator.
