User accounts and wireless internet access

I have an ASUS A2H laptop with XP Pro and an 802.11b wireless card. When I
log on as administrator, the laptop recognizes the router signal and I can
access the internet. If I change to another user account I still have
connection. However, if I restart the laptop, then log on directly as one of
the user accounts (not first as administrator) the laptop fails to establish
connectivity with the router. I have no internet connection until I log out
of the user account, log on as administrator and allow the laptop to
establish the signal and internet connection.
How do you to set up a laptop to allow all users to automatically establish
the signal and internet connection.

I assume you mean the ASUS WLAN program? I have tried unsuccessfully with and
without it running. I also have Network Magic which came with my DLink router
but again stopping or allowing it doesn't seem to make any difference.  Any
ideas Bob?

If you read the post, the another solution is modify the registry.
