Vista WiFi Can't Reconnect?

My wifi network uses MAC filtering and doesn't broadcast a SSID. Connections are set up manually and set to connect whenever the network is in range.





My Vista Home Prem laptop doesn't reconnect to the network if I go out of range and then come back, even if I disable/re-enable the adapter and scan for wifi networks in range. I must restart the laptop to reconnect. (very annoying!)





My XP laptop connects fine when I leave and come back in range, so I assume it must be something with Vista. How can I fix this without compromising the existing security measures I've taken?





Thanks in advance.Vista WiFi Can't Reconnect?
This may be a driver problem, Vista is prone to these. Download the latest Vista driver from you card manufacturer's site. The security you are using will prevent unwanted connections. I hope you have encryption as well, because it will not stop someone scanning you data from the transmissions. A $20.00 hand-held scanner can find your channel, this is enough for setting up a scan.
