Wireless Zero Configuration

Wireless Zero Configuration Service (Windows XP)

Windows XP offers the Wireless Zero Configuration Service to support 802.11b and

802.11g wireless networking. This service automatically polls the area for available

wireless access points. If an available wireless access point is found, Windows attempts

to connect to the access point. If no available wireless access points are found, you must

manually add the access point information to connect (for example when the SSID is not

broadcasted).

Note: The Wireless Zero Configuration Service and Client Manager do not function

properly together. If you want to use Client Manager, you must disable the Wireless Zero

Configuration Service.

Enabling the Wireless Zero Configuration Service

Click Start >> Control Panel >> Administrative Tools >> Services to open the Services

configuration window. Select Automatic in the Startup Type field of Wireless Zero

Configuration Service to enable the Wireless Zero Configuration Service and click apply.

Note: The default Startup Type value of Wireless Zero Configuration Service is Automatic.

Disabling the Wireless Zero Configuration Service

Click Start >> Control Panel >> Administrative Tools >> Services to open the Services

configuration window. Select Disabled in the Startup Type field of Wireless Zero

Configuration Service to disable the Wireless Zero Configuration Service.
