Hello,
I am trying to lockdown a XP based workstation so that it can only
connect to wirelsss networks selected by the administrator.

I kow that I can configure so that the workstation does not
automatically connect to a non-preferred network.  I am trying to lock
down the workstation so that it can only access one specific Network
.... any ideas?
Thanks,
-Bob

Do you have access to all the wireless points that it can connect to?
If so, set up a mac filter preventing that user from logging in. If you
go to Star>Run>type: CMD and type ipconfig you should get a list of
macs on the computer.

I'll look up some registry options later, there may be something to
that.
