wifi issues on thinkpad

hi,

my t42 works fine using windows xp zero config for wifi, but if i turn
off that service to get the lenovo software to handle the wifi
nothing happens.

i am windows xp sp2.

i have used system update to install the current sw. i have
downloaded the current sw and installed it myself - 77wc39ww.exe and
get no errors.

the driver version on the t42 is correct, 4.1.2.156. i am using the
admin account for this machine.


any suggestions?

thanks.

I personally uninstall Access Connections straight away when I get my hands
on a new Thinkpad, in favor of the built-in stuff. I've tried for years to
get Access Connections to work reliably, to no avail. Sometimes it works,
sometimes it doesn't, and I've given up. Just my $.02.
