No Wireless Networks Tab
When I open my Windows XP Network Connctions, and select
Properties for my Belkin F5D6050 USB Wireless Network Adapter, there is no "Wireless Networks Tab". How do I get XP to activate wireless networking so that the Wireless Networs Tab will become available? The Belkin network connection and monitor utility wont remember my SSID. So, I curently have to manually enter the SSID each time I reboot. I want to have XP manage my wireless setting instead of the Belkin software. Thanks in advance! |

No Wireless Networks Tab
Greetings sandalboy,
The Wireless Network tab appears when your network adapter fully supports the Wireless Zero Configuration (WZC) service. Check with your wireless adapter vendor for a version of a driver that supports Windows XP and the WZC. Go to Belkins website and download the latest compatible drivers for the network card you have. Make sure the Wireless Zero Configuration service is started. Click Start, Run, and type "services.msc". Open Services and scroll down to the Wireless Zero Configuration, start the service and set it to automatic. _______________ Eric Cross Microsoft MVP (Windows Networking) http://mvp.support.microsoft.com "sandalboy" wrote in message ...

No Wireless Networks Tab
Eric - I'm having a similar challenge with XP Home. My Linksys PCI card on
my home desktop stopped working on Saturday after had been working fine for ~ 6 months. The driver is listed on device mgr with no errors and the windows zero configuration service is running. However, I'm not getting the wireless networks tab either when I click on properties on my wireless network connection in the network connections dialog box. We have two laptops working off the Linksys wireless router so I know it's working OK. I don't know what else to try.

No Wireless Networks Tab
Kirke, I have the same problem as you, except I get the wireless network tab
if I reboot my laptop. The problems appears when I disable the w-card and try enabling again. I have a Linksys card and a 2 Netgear wireless cards. The problem is in my laptop. WZC is running auto.
