From: Thomas M. on 4 Apr 2008 13:37 XP SP2 The wireless network icon in my System tray periodically pops up the "Wireless network unavailable" message. I know that the wireless network is unavailable because I have integrated wireless radio turned off. I'd like to have that message suppressed. Thus far, I've tried each of the following with a reboot after each change: 1) Disabled the "Connect when this network is in range" option in the connection properties, thinking that was causing the computer to look for the wireless network (to determine whether it is in range or not). 2) Cleared the "Notify me when this connection has limited or no connectivity" option. 3) I found the wireless network connection settings in the registry, did some Googling on those settings, and found that setting the IpCheckingEnabled value to zero might fix the problem, but that value is already set to zero for my connection. I am still getting the message balloon. It looks like disabling the connection will do the trick, but I'd prefer to keep it enabled if possible so that I don't need to go through the extra step of re-enabling it each time I want to connect wirelessly. Short of disabling the wireless connection, is there any way to suppress the "Wireless network unavailable" message? --Tom
From: Thomas M. on 4 Apr 2008 14:02 There is one more thing that I forgot to mention. I also tried turning off the System Tray notification by going into Customize Notifications and selecting the "Always hide" option for the wireless connection icon. However, if I connect to the wireless network that icons gets displayed in the System Tray again, and after doing a reboot I end up right back where I started--with the "Wireless network unavailable" message popping up periodically. In fact, if I go back into the Customize Notifications dialog box I see that the behavior for the wireless connection icon has been set back to it's original value of "Hide when inactive," which by the way does not seem to *actually* hide the icon when the connection is inactive. --Tom "Thomas M." <NoEmailReplies(a)Please.com> wrote in message news:elbUcqnlIHA.2328(a)TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... > XP SP2 > > The wireless network icon in my System tray periodically pops up the > "Wireless network unavailable" message.
