Wireless Zero Configuration
Wireless Zero Configuration Service (Windows XP)
Windows XP offers the Wireless Zero Conguration 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 Conguration Service and Client Manager do not function
properly together. To use Client Manager, the Wireless Zero Conguration 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
conguration window. Select Automatic in the Startup Type eld of Wireless Zero
Conguration Service and click Apply.
To Disable the Wireless Zero Configuration Service
Click Start >> Control Panel >> Administrative Tools >> Services to open the Services
conguration window. Select Disabled in the Startup Type eld of Wireless Zero
Conguration Service.
