May I recommend that you run ipconfig from a CMD window instead of doing
Start/Run. That way you will see what shows up. By redirecting the output to
a file "> foo.txt" as an example, the foo.txt file WILL be created. If you
run it from the Start/Run method, then foo.txt will probably be located in
the WINDOWS/SYSTEM32 folder. You could give the full path to the destination
such as "ipconfig /all . C:\temp\foo.txt" and then you will know exactly
where the file is located. Sometimes we forget that the user may not be
familiar with the command line applications. Hope this helps.

Windows 2000 does not appear to support ipconfig with the modifiers
suggested (/all >foo.txt). The command "executes" (or not) in an eyeblink,
and there is no foo.txt file in the computer afterwards. The comment about
timing may be a clue however. I have successfully connected without
rebooting, but only after running the WAP's diagnostics. I plan to try just
waiting and seeing if a connection ultimately occurs. Thanks for the
suggestions.
