| Re: Wireless is hard So, if you go into the Services Manager and turn off the Wireless Zero Config service, and then make sure it is set to disabled on startup, does this solve the problem?
If you turn this off, how do you install and configure Wireless Adapters?
I'd like to know, since some guys in my office have XP notebooks that do this, and I finally gave up trying to figure out why, and just told them to live with it.
If it can be fixed, I'll be estatic.

| Re: Wireless is hard Hi,
When I set my WiFi up I had terrible issues with connectivity and trying to config the WEP. . . .
Untill I turned off the WinXp wireless control and installed the software that came ith thcard (Netgear).
"a Microsoft spokesman gives an interesting runaround, suggesting the indicator indicates your "association" with an access point, not signal strength"! I think that sums it all up.

i'll tell him to shut that service off and install the software if it isnt already.
chalk that up to another case of Microsoft playing "they know best". | |
