OK so I have a couple problems I cant figure out with my Vista networking.

My school has a wireless network with the SSID hidden. I created a profile so that it would be recognized and auto connect but it still always see's it as unnamed and I now have 3 or 4 "fau" networks from the diff access points (I assume it makes a new one for each MAC address).

The second occured when I have both my ethernet and wireless connections enabled. . It wont let my connect to the internet wirelessly if I have my ethernet cord plugged in or even enabled.

has anyone heard of either of these issues (sorry its poorly written . . class just let out so i gtg.)

Why your school has a hidden SSID, I have no idea, it adds no extra security and with the right tools can easily be found...but thats a different story. How did you create a profile for it? Did you do it with a WLAN setup utility? And as far as I know, on most laptops when the wireless switch is on, you can't use a wired network and vice versa.

Do you go to Florida Atlantic University?

yes I go to Florida Atlantic, The SSID is pointless because there are signs saying how to logon (I have to give my user name /pass after connecting) and I created the profile through windows as i have yet to find the intel driver software form my wireless card (I only have the dell one)
