Changing order of preference of networks
I connect to the internet via my wireless network. Every night I connect my PDA to my computer to use Internet Sharing in order to connect to my work's portal so that I can print off my jobs for the next day, rather than reading them on the PDA's screen throughout the day. To get acces to the portal, I always... 11 Mar 2010 21:22
