Wireless Connection Options
In the Wireless Network Connection dialog box (refer to Figure 15-19), you can click
Change Advanced Settings to bring up the Properties dialog box for the wireless connection,
shown in Figure 15-20. You can also open the Properties dialog box for a
wireless connection the same way you would for a local area connection: by opening
the Network Connections window (via Control Panel), right-clicking the connection,
and choosing Properties.
Figure 15-20 The Properties dialog box for a wireless connection works much like that of a LAN
connection.
For the most part, this dialog box works the same way in which the Properties dialog
box for local area connections works. On the General tab, you can control whether
components are enabled or disabled for the connection. You can also configure TCP/IP
options. On the Advanced tab, you can control Windows Firewall settings. However,
ICS is not available for wireless connections.
On the Wireless Network tab, shown in Figure 15-21, you can click View Wireless Networks
to return to the Wireless Network Connection window. The Preferred Networks
shows you networks to which you have successfully connected. Windows automatically
tries to connect to networks in the order in which they are listed, although you
can adjust that order.
