Wireless Networking Problem

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



I have a wireless setup with a desktop running XP Home and a notebook running
Windows 2000 (SP4). Each computer has multiple logons (me, kids,
administrator) with most of the W2000 logons being Power Users.

In the early stages I used no encryption just to make sure everything was
working OK. I ran it like this for a month or so.

A while back I decided to use WPA-PSK. The XP system is fine, everyone can
logon at will and see the wireless network. With the W2000 system only the
administrator can logon and see the network. If the other users logon after
the administrator they can see the network for a while then the connection is
lost.

Making the other users administrators cures this but I do not want a bunch
of users with administrator rights. Is there a solution?
