Lenovo X200- when undocked wireless does not work
At work, Lenovo X200 type 7450-AG7 while docked, wireless will work flawlessly- no cable attached to dock-
When I push the button on the side and the dock turns green to release, wireless is still connected to the same network but will not go out to internet or intranet.
I have deleted any profiles that were stored in the wireless networks and still when it finds the only network here. it still stalls out- any idea
OS is XP 32 bit

Have you checked with your IT department? This might be by design, where the network intrusion security detects a signature from a database of allowed systems and without the dock, your signature changes and is then detected as an intrusion on the network and you become fire-walled. It could be a security strategy so that not just anyone in range of the wireless can hack away at the network without having a certain allowed signature that can change with hardware configurations.

nope- cause others work fine- we have over 1000 users here about 500 are x200

The only thing that i can think of- is maybe onbe of the profiles is screwed up- either profile1 or the dock profile- wonder if i delete it if it would work
After disconnecting from the dock, have you tried rebooting? The wireless adapter could be freezing up when you disconnect from the dock.

when its out of the dock and doesnt connect and i put back in dock it connects again right away
So you get a change in profile undocked? May not have the same credentials as the working profile.

CC-cleaner seems to work well also, but i also think its something with the profiles- will try it on Monday to see if it helps- will let you know

It was a profile issue as i expected- when docked I deleted the undocked profile as well as profile1 and when rebooted it worked
