When I start my laptop I can connect to my home network but not to the
Internet. That's because the wireless zero configuration service, even
thought startup type is automatic, is stopped. When I start the service by
running services.msc, click the wireless network tab in TCP/IP properties of
my network connection and check the box to allow Windows to manage my network
all is well. The problem is that when I stop and restart my laptop something
stops the wireless zero configuration service and I have to go through the
whole process again, every time.

Will someone show me how to insure that the service, when it is started,
continues to run, or restart, when the laptop is shut down and restarted?

Thanks,

Hi
Most of the original Brand Wireless Utilities switch Off wireless zero
configuration when they start. It might be that some parts of
original Wireless utility is loaded at startup.
You can use these to find out.

I am having the same problem as you. What kind of computer do you have?

except at home. I know very little about computers so any help would be
greatly appreciated. Thabnks

Is it worth turning off the widows wireless utility
and reinstall the Broadcom interface utility and see if that works
better than the windows wireless.
I had a similar problem with a Belkin card and interface but in my case
I disabled the Belkin " let this tool manage the wireless settings "
and found the windows wireless util worked much better than the Belkin
it still uses belkin drivers but never drops out now.

The same thing was happening to me and it cost me $100 to have a tech guy fix it. So here it is.. after re starting Zero configuration again.. go to START then to ALL PROGRAMS then find your wireless card..( wireless utilities).. I have a gateway laptop with XP.. so I have a BROADCOM WIRELESS.. go to its UTILITIES....UNCHECK.. the box that says.. LET THIS TOOL MANAGE MY WIRELESS CONNECTIONS.... press apply and ok.. you shold be go to .. $100 over a little box.. DAMMMM..
