I switch between a variety of wired and wireless connections several times a day and don't have this problem. There are many other settings in IBM Connection Manager, for instance: Automatically Use the adapter with the fastest available network connection/Automatically use the adapter with the highest defined priority level. Pick one. And Disconnect from the wireless network and turn off any wireless radios associated with this profile when I switch to a different location profile. (all on the Adapter tab.) Investigate also the settings on the Wireless tab . Perhaps you need to upgrade your Connection Manager..? Good luck! -- ><eM eL><
