Wireless Zero Configuration

Wireless Zero Configuration Service (Windows XP)

Windows XP offers the Wireless Zero Configuration Service to support 802.11b and 802.11g wireless networking. This service automatically polls the area for available wireless access points. If an available wireless access point is found, Windows attempts to connect to the access point. If no available wireless access points are found, you may manually input an access point’s SSID and encryption information to connect (for example when the SSID is not broadcasted).

Note: The Wireless Zero Configuration Service and Client Manager do not function properly together. To use Client Manager, the Wireless Zero Configuration Service should be disabled. This is normally done for you automatically when you install Client Manager.

To Enable the Wireless Zero Configuration Service

Click Start >> Control Panel >> Administrative Tools >> Services to open the Services configuration window. Select Automatic in the Startup Type field of Wireless Zero Configuration Service and click Apply.

To Disable the Wireless Zero Configuration Service

Click Start >> Control Panel >> Administrative Tools >> Services to open the Services configuration window. Select Disabled in the Startup Type field of Wireless Zero Configuration Service.
