Windows XP offers the Wireless Zero Confi guration Service to support 802.11a, 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 must
manually add the access points.
Note: The Wireless Zero Confi guration Service and Client Manager do not function
properly together. If you want to use Client Manager, disable the Wireless Zero
Confi guration Service.
