Wireless and Mapped Networks

Hi.

I just installed a Linksys 802.11g Broadband Router and Cardbus card (for a Sony Vaio notebook).

I've actually gotten everything to work, both Wired, into the Router, and Wirelessly.

The only "blip" I've encounterd, is when my Notebook boots up, I have a Mapped Network as part of the login.

Normally, and even wired into the new Linksys router, the mapped network works fine and the login proceeds uninterrupted.

However, when I attempt to login Wirelessly, I get an error message stating that the Mapped Network could not be found.

When the Notebook is fully booted, however, the Mapped network is working fine. I don't even have to re-type in the Mapping. I just go to File Explorer and click on the Mapped Network.

Any suggestions on how to get this Mapped Network to login successfully during the Boot up via the Wireless NIC Cardbus?

Thanks.

Mapped Network - not sure exactly what you mean by this term. Explain?

 

When a Hard Drive "drive" is Shared by one computer, the other computer that wants to access this Shared computer is connected by "mapping" the path from the remote computer to the Shared computer.

 

Map the drive in a batch file using net use but add a 20+ second delay first using sleep.exe. This should give time for the interface and network services to initialize.

Or map the drive permanently using explorer and enable "Quicklogon" in the properties for Client for Microsoft Networks.
