I would have to say yes if you want to be able to use wireless networking from a wired workstation to the wireless laptop. roll back to sp1a and enjoy.

yep ie is default browser issue was with traces of fire fox still on machine. installed firefox again and uninstalled it and all is well. thanks for your input

answer to your questions are all yes. hardwired no prob. im an mcsa 2003 with n+ and a+ and go through all the nightmare scenarios. thanks for the help. in fact i am responding to you throught the laptop via my server rdp connection ;)

guess what. afer uninstalling service pack 2 on xp pro and reverting to 1a the issue is gone. guess ms and intel have some work to do. thanks for all your help. feel free to send any more info you discover.

look forward to your results. i will be bugging others in my community to test this scenario elsewhere. it drives me crazy but would not be the first time ms overlooked something.
