Ok, I've looked through the forums and can't find any reference to this.  I've noticed multiple references to binding to a wireless network adapter as well as references to using a USB network adapter to allow keeping activated on both a desktop and laptop.  However, when I activate, my wireless adapter doesn't show in the list (interestingly my bluetooth PAN adapter shows on my laptop and my VMWare adapters show on my desktop).  This is true of both the built in wireless on the laptop and a netgear WG111v2 on either one.  This means I HAVE to remember to deactivate from the desktop before I leave for the day (I carry the laptop with me so if I forget to deactivate it that's not a big deal) or I have problems.

Is this a known issue with Vista and not seeing the wireless adapters?  BTW, I run Vistal Ultimate on both x64 on the desktop and x86 on the laptop.  Unfortunately I can't move the bluetooth dongle back and forth because I use a bluetooth mouse on the laptop and I use it off and on through the day in the office.

I'm not sure why it can see the belkin bluetooth dongle but not the netgear wireless dongle.  Is there something I need to do or am I just out of luck?

Thanks in advance for any help, while I can work with things currently, it's rather a pain especially if I could just be able to plug in the netgear wireless dongle on the machine I'm going to be working on at any given time.
