There are two wireless networks setup in my office, a primary one and a backup. Plus there are few other wireless networks nearby. However, Windows (XP SP3) has ceased to show other available wireless networks when I am connected. I frequently have to switch networks every now and then and for that I have to go to Wireless Network Connection's properties, change the order of networks and Repair the connection... to much time consuming. Can anyone tell me why I can't see all available wireless network connections? Here are the screen caps:

Ummmm - superuser.com would be a much more appropriate place for this question. – ErikA Nov 21 '09 at 6:48
the "Preferred Networks" list isn't a list of the networks Windows sees, it's a list of networks Windows has connected to at some time in the past. – quack quixote Jan 22 '10 at 6:05
