Wireless Zero Configuration

I have set up my home network with my desktop and laptop. For the laptop to
be connected I first have to start the Wireless Zero Configuration to have a
Wireless Networking tab in Network Connections. Then I have to go into
Network connections, click on the Networking tab and select "Use Windows to
configure my wireless network settings". Once I've done this I am connected
for the moment, but when I go away from the computer for awhile or shut it
off I have to do this all again. Can someone help me please?

Is the Wireless Zero Configuration service set to automatic?

Is your system fully patched (XP SP2 + latest hotfixes)?

Hi, Angie -

You might want to take a look at:

http://www.itcsg.com/tech/Tech.shtml

and read through the articles on building Ad-Hoc and
Small-Office/Home-Office wireless networks.

Hope this helps,

Yes, the Wireless Zero Configuration is set to automatic. The laptop is new
and it came with XP SP2, but I'm not sure about the hotfixes.

Hi

Might be that WZC runs in parallel to the original manufacturer utility;
make sure that WCZ is set o Auto and the original Brand Utility id not
Running as well.
