It seems my windows xp home edition machine does not make a wireless
connection to the network unless someone logs into the machine.

IS this correct? Can I change this?

Hi
XP home is no different and should connect to a Wireless Network.
However since you did not provided any information about the Wireless source
and the way the logon is configured, I can not provide you with any focused
help.
