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

may manually input an access point’s SSID and encryption 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. To use Client Manager, the Wireless Zero Configuration Service

should be disabled. This is normally done for you automatically when you install Client

Manager.

To Enable 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 and click Apply.

To Disable 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.
