Wireless Network & Registry Entries

[Alan]

Here we go...

I have a wireless card in my laptop and it was working
perfectly until I looged onto a wired network (at a
client company).

It seems that they have some policies which are
automatically "pushed" down to any PC logged onto their
network. Furthermore, it seems they don't permit their
users to use wireless networks. Anyway, now my laptop
will no longer access my wireless network.

Is there a specific setting in the registry which
disables the wireless card from connecting to wireless
networks and, if so, which one is it???

I have administrator rights on my Windows XP based laptop
and am comfortable editting my registry if I know what
needs to be changed.

Hopefully somebody out there can help...

Thanks!

One possible solution is to use System Restore to go back in time to
before you connected to the client's network.
