Changing Wireless Networks While Hibernating Doesn't Reconfigure D

Posted: 03-08-2008, 10:10 PM
I travel between two networks, the public network at the coffee shop and my
private network at home. I have found that I can connect automatically to
the wireless access point and then to the network at the coffee shop without
difficulty. When I go home, however, I find my computer consistently
connects to the local wireless access point, but for some reason it still
thinks it has a lease on a 10.x.x.x address (which I assume is the coffee
shop) despite my home network being in the 192.168.1.x address range. I can
force it to reconnect either by resetting the device or running renewing the
DHCP lease. I am questioning why it doesn't do this automatically, and how I
can correct that flaw. Ideally, when I open my laptop, regardless of where I
am Windows should correctly configure my network settings to reach the
internet on familiar networks.
