Wireless Zero Configuration keeps stopping after installation of BTBusiness Hub.

Hi,
I have a Sony Vaio laptop with Windows XP SP2. When I am in the
office, it connects to our network using a Belkin wireless router.
It's worked fine for 12 months.

However, last week I had a BTBusiness hub installed at home, and I set
it up to use wireless, which worked fine all weekend. The problem is,
now when I come into work, I can't get onto the network. The wireless
connection keeps dropping. I have checked in services, and it seems
that although Wireless Zero Configuration is set to automatic startup,
and although I can also start it manually, after about a minute it
stops. In the short period whilst WZC is running I can get onto the
network fine.

It's almost as if something is conflicting with WZC and making it
stop. I can't see anything obvious. I wondered if anybody here had
experienced anything similar and could offer a solution?

Thanks for any help

A bit more information. I went into MSCONFIG (from Run), clicked on
the services tab, hid all Microsoft services and found "Wireless
Adaptor Configurator" from Tech Mahindra. I disabled this and WZC now
works fine and does not stop. So found the culprit.

However, further research has disclosed that this has indeed been
installed by the BTBusinessHub. So, does this mean that when I get
home, my home wireless connection will not work until I re-enable the
"Wireless Adaptor Configurator"? Or will it continue to work through
WZC?

Thanks aagain for any help or advice,

it should work fine. you should not need any additional software to
use the wireless.
