Default wireless networks

I have been using my laptop with 2 separate wireless
networks. I have the same WEP code for both networks.
Recently, I have been unable to view the available
wireless networks when I right-click the wireless
networking tray icon. Thus, when I have to switch
networks, I have to go to the Microsoft Broadband Utility
and connect to the desired network. Previously, this
would occur automatically. Any suggestions?

Default RE: wireless networks

Has the WEP been turned off on one of the wifi zones recently, by default XP will not connect automatically to a non encrypted wireless zone. Also make sure that the 2 networks are listed in the prefered networks list (right click tray icon / view available / advanced / wireless networks) add it if it isnt in there.
