Tying to network with Wireless network using a Motorola WPCI810G. WinXP SP2.

Works great on Admin account. When limited users log in, they cannot use the wireless card. I cannot find a setting to allow the card to be used by limited users.

The problem is it disables the radio for the limited users.

Any ideas?

Each user has their own profile and settings including internet settings. you need to set up the network configuration in each user profile...including installing the wireless drivers for each. Most have a properties box that can be accessed from the admin account " to allow all users.." when the wireless drivers were first installed.

Well, I gave up on the Motorola card and used a USB adapter.

I appreciate your response, but it is flawed. Limited users cannot install devices. They are restricted from doing so.

The Belkin USB device worked fine. I installed it as Admin and then logged in as the limited user and it came up fine.

The Motorola card is still a mystery if anyone else has an idea...

Thanks!
