What service pack of XP do you have installed? Where are you looking when you say that there is no windows zero config service nor any wzcsvc? You should be looking under "Wireless Zero Configuration" in Start Run services.msc [click OK] See MS-MVP Jack's http://www.ezlan.net/wzc.html (with screenshots) If you think you don't have WZC, then what is always stating that you should use the adapter's utility"? -- Lem -- MS-MVP Apollo 11 - 40 years ago: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/ap...0th/index.html |

Well:
- in services.msc no Windows Zero ... listed - searching in c:\windows no wzc*.* found - i do have in systray an icon for network wireless, that displays the a windows component to build a new network or choose and display Wireless networks that are available. But in the window where the WiFi should be displayed I see a message stating that the deviec has been configured with a propretary utility, that windows cannot configure itr, and that I should use that utility instead ( Hercules one). I have found where that utility starts at boot up, and disabled it's starting on booting. Now I have a connection. But I still vannot use Windows utility, and so cannot display "available" WLANs to check if I ahve problems.

Run the Hercules utility and look for a setting that tells it to let Windows configure the wireless network. Run "services.msc" and make sure that the Wireless Zero Configuration service is started and is set to start automatically. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Desktop Experience) Microsoft Most Valuable Professional Program http://mvp.support.microsoft.com |

How reactivate Windows Zero Configuration utility for WLAN ?
Hi
After you done with the Hercules check that you still have a valid entry of the Wireless Card in the Device Management. Done with the utility can be done with the drivers, if such is the case look for the manufacturer of the Wireless Chipset and log to their support site. Many times the OEM would post clean drivers without any utility. Use these drivers instead of the vendors "Junk". If the Card is installed correctly with the drivers and no utility log to the page suggested by Lem. In general, http://www.ezlan.net/wireless.html Jack (MS, MVP-Networking).
