Default How to manually login to Wireless LAN?

Hi:

I am running Windows XP SP1. I installed Belkin Wireless Desktop PCI
Adapter. The problem is that, everytime I login to Windows XP, my
computer connects to wireless network. But, I would like to manually
turn on the wireless connection after I login, since sometimes I
do not need to connect to internet. I called the Belkin customer
support, but he told me it is not possible. I have difficuilty
believing that. I turned on the Wireless Zero Configuration
service on and off, but it did not help. Belkin utility has a radio
option that I can disable but then I need to do this everytime
before I shutdown the PC. I will really appreciate any pointers.

Thanks.

network connections". then i disable and enable the connections as i need

Go to Start, Control Panel, Network Connections. Right click the Wireless
Connection and disable. When you want to use wireless just enable the same
way.

Awesome, it worked. Thanks a lot.

Go to Start, Control Panel, Network Connections. Right click the

Wireless
Connection and disable. When you want to use wireless just enable the

same
way.
