Hi,

I just installed a Wireless Adapter (D-Link DWL 650+) into my laptop and I
am able to connect to the Internet via the WAP (D-Link DI 714P+). All this
is done as the Administrator.

If I try to login as a "Power User" the D-Link software used to manage the
connection does not seem to recognize the Card (although it shows up OK in
the Device manager) and I get a "WLANMON !" error message
displayed....nothing else.

After giving that user "Administrator" rights the problem disapeared and
came back when I switched it back to a "Power User"...so it has to be
permission related.

I am running W2K-SP4 on a Dell Inspirion 7500 laptop.

I submitted the problem to D-Link Tech support and they told me it was OS
related and could not provided me any help.

Any help is appreciated,
Thanks,
Claude
