Hello, I recently installed a PCI Wireless network card into my new office machine and installed the drivers fine. My problem is, that when I try to logon to my domain, the wireless card doesn't pickup a wireless signal before login, thus making the domain unavailable, if I log in locally I eventually get network detection, but sometimes only after a bit of fiddling. Can anyone suggest how I get the card to gain a signal from the wireless router/firewall before the login so that I can login to my domain server??? All help much appreciated

have you run the network wizard in network connections?? that needs to be run to gain access to the workgroup in the domain

I have installed the card and the network connection shows up in network connections. I have given the card the appropriate IP address, gateway and DNS information, so the card should be ready, but it's having trouble getting a signal when the machine is at the logon screen. This means I have to logon to a local user account because the domain is not recognised because there is no wireless network signal at the logon screen. Although when I am logged in as the local user, I can get a wireless signal, shortly after all of the tray icons have loaded up etc. Sometimes I have to refresh the wireless connection and fiddle about with the settings to gain a network connection to the wireless router.
