WiFi Finder and Windows network connections

  • Article

I got my WiFi Finder today,
its pretty big for a keychain, but then again, I carry a PocketPC Phone so I'm used
to large tech gadgets.  The WiFi Finder succesfully noticed that my office has
a wireless network, and from reading the instructions, it can detect both 802.11b
and 802.11g networks.  I'll keep reporting on how well war-walking works, and
I'll probably get some chalk too :)

Goldfarb sent out this nice tip
for how you can tell Windows whether you want to use your wireless or LAN connection
for a network:

- Right click on my network places and select Properties

You'll see an explorer window open up, and on the toolbar there is an Advanced menu
  • Select Advanced>>Advanced Settings...
  • This will open to the Adapters and Bindings tab
  • Simply place these in the order that you want your PC to connect to the network (LAN,
    then wireless, etc)
