Wireless Networking - Undocking Laptop
Hey guys, I need some help. One network I service uses
laptops with wireless networking. One of the laptops (XP Pro) uses a docking station. The user will be running a program off of the server and will need to undock the laptop and go to another room where a client is at and continue the work there. The problem is that when a laptop undocks from it's station, it goes into standby mode. This causes the wireless connection to be lost. The user will hit the power button to bring it out of standby and the wireless connection will be disconnected but then it will automatically be found. The server doesn't mind this too much and the connection stays alive, however, the program running on the server does not like the connection loss (obviously) and will generate an error or will not allow access to files generating a different error. So I'm looking for a way around this. The user needs to be able to keep the connection up and running when undocking the laptop. Is there any kind of "hot docking" feature where the laptop doesn't need to go into standyby? I tried just unplugging it from the dock without choosing undock from the start menu and this of course locked the maching. This user is a doctor and kind of tough to deal with so I don't want to give an answer of "No it can't be done. You must log off the program everytime and log back in." unless I am absolutely positive there are no solutions. Nothing worse then saying, "It can't be done." only to find out a week later there is a solution. Thanks in advance for any help. |
