server to allocate an IP address for the wireless LAN card, and whether you want
your computer to log on to a domain. By default, these settings are managed
automatically as defined in each profile.
When the
Manage TCP/IP properties together with profiles
check box is cleared,
profiles will be activated without TCP/IP settings. You can change the settings
manually in the
Control Panel

Profiles will be activated without domain settings if the
