Wireless Zero Configuration

Apr 3, 2008

Thinkpad T30 running XP pro. In order to use my wireless network I must run the services.msc program to start the wireless. I can connect to my neighbors unsecured wireless automatically but not my own secured network. Microsoft Bulletin # 871122 explains how to run the program but it is required to run every time I reboot. How do I permanently make the change?

Zero Wireless Configuration

Mar 19, 2005

I am living in a shared residence and the guys here are running wireless adsl. It is an infrastructure network using 128bit WEP encryption. I'm not sure about their hardware but I am using an asus 54mbps usb stick. I have no problmes logging on but for some reason the wireless config. program automatically checks the "the key is provided for me automatically" option in the network properties. Now this prevents me from getting access to the network after any sort of disconnection. If I uncheck this box the stars in the key field (representing the WEP key) dissappear and so the key needs to be reentered. It only does this some times and since I don't have a copy of the key (the network administrator enters it on my computer) every couple of days I need to get the key re-entered on my computer. It is a real hassle and I can't work out why windows keeps defaulting to this option of having the key provided automatically.

High CPU's In Wireless Zero Configuration

Feb 6, 2008

My Compaq running on Windows XP Home has suddenly and mysteriously started running at high CPU's (almost 100%) at boot. From Task Manager, I could see that it was the svchost.exe that was running high. I contacted Microsoft and after 2 1/2 hours of shutting down literally every process and then slowly re-adding them, it was found that it is the wireless zero config that is running all of the CPU's. I am on a laptop (wireless through DSL - sbcglobal - and using a linksys router which is running at 11 - maximum connection)downstairs. I have NEVER had a problem until 2 days ago. I have added NOTHING to the computer.

I can sit directly next to the router (upstairs) and the CPU will drop, but not completely. When I plug into Linksys using ethernet, the CPU stops to 1% - and the computer resets itself. It will be fine the rest of the day. I have also had success unplugging Linksys for about 5 minutes (while sitting next to it) and that also seems to reset the CPU usage. HOWEVER - if I restart, either from warm or cold boot, the same cycle happens all over.Linksys gave me a patch, which has done nothing. They said if it was a Linksys problem, the patch would have fixed it.Microsoft can't help - it is a wireless issue.SBC can't help - it is a Linksys issueI haven't yet called Compaq because I am afraid they will tell me that the high CPU is due to a failing in my internal wireless. THE Presario 3240US IS 4 YEARS OLD AND HAS BEEN GREAT - NEVER ANY MAJOR PROBLEMS! Obviously, the computer is having to work too hard to connect to the wireless system, thus the high CPU's. And, when it runs high, I have problems with the internet slowing down. Anyone out there ever had this problem? Is it time for a new computer?

Print To Wireless Printer From Wireless Laptop?

Mar 1, 2009

We have two laptops and one wireless (HP Photosmart C7280) printer. Our laptops both connect to the internet wirelessly through a router. I was able to install and can print wirelessly from my laptop (a Mac) with no problems. However, we cannot figure out how to print wirelessly from my boyfriend's laptop (a Dell). We have installed the printer software and the printer itself on his laptop, and the laptop is able to identify the wireless printer over the network. We made sure that the printer is set to "online" and that file/printer sharing is turned on. But, whenever we go to print any kind of a file, we get an error message simply stating that the printer was unable to print and that we should run the troubleshooter. So, we run the troubleshooter, and we get this message:"The troubleshooter was not able to ping (detect a connection with) your print server. This might be the cause of the problem. Verify that your network is configured correctly and that you are connected to the network."

I am more used to working with Macs and my boyfriend is computer illiterate, so we're a bit lost as to what this means. I was able to set up a wireless network connection on his laptop, but beyond that I'm not sure what else to do. Most of the other advice I've seen online involves a wireless printer that is wired to one computer, and another laptop trying to wirelessly access that printer through the connected computer...if that makes any sense. Our printer isn't wired to anything, and we just can't figure out why it'll print wirelessly on the Mac but not on the Dell laptop. Any ideas?

Wireless Zero Configuration Service Shuts Down

Mar 18, 2007

Every time I shut down my Dell Inspiron laptop, Windows' Wireless Zero Configuration service shuts down. So, everytime I start the computer, I have to restart the service, go into Wireless Network Connection Properties and reclick "Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings" to be able to access the internet. Is there a way to make sure WZC stays on permanently? When I hit START on the activity, I'm not given the option to hit APPLY.

Wireless Rouyer Configuration Not Connect

Feb 25, 2006

I have been using a Belkin Wireless Router on my XP Pro system for some time but now it will not connect to the web. I think the problem has been caused by a virus but my system appears clean now. As it stands I cannot access the Router Configuration because the message "Network Not Available" appears. I have been in contact with my ISP, Belkin and have replaced the router with a new one all without success. I have looked into the WZCSVC and other services and when checking the dependencis the nessage "WMI:Critical Error" appears. All settings on the system are correct for setting up the router but it will not access the web. it seems the computer will not allow the router to "talk" to the web. Whatever caused the problem also appears to have deleted the system restore poits.

Reformatted Laptop Wireless Networks Not Available?

Apr 8, 2010

I had the XP Security Center virus and, perhaps foolishly, reformatted - or more formally, "system reformat" for "returning the computer to factory conditions", as my friend who helped me with this process called it - my computer and reinstalled the operating system. But when I turned it on for the first time, there was, naturally, no internet connection. However, while I would normally proceed to set one up, there was, for some reason, no "View Available Wireless Networks" option when I right click on the little connection icon at the bottom right hand corner of the screen.

Reinstalled Pro Onto Laptop - How To Set Up Wireless Connection

Sep 23, 2009

I unfortunately had to reinstall windows onto my laptop (dell inspiron 1520). However, a windows disk didn't come with the computer so I used the one that came with my desktop (dell xps 400). It's running fine and all that jazz but I am clueless on how to set up my wireless connection. When I first bought the computer the first time I opened it it automatically picked up the wireless connection and all I had to do is type in a password and such. Now I guess I'm starting from scratch... There's no webcam software on it or anything like it came with. The resolution doesnt even fit the same after adjusting it. (It's close but still a little stretched out)

Connection Laptop To Wireless Network

Jul 23, 2009

I reinstalled windows xp sp3 on a old laptop. Everything went fine except for internet connectivity. I have a wireless network to which I connect several computers and devices and everything works like it should.When I try to connect my laptop to this network, it fails.Every 5 seconds it goes from not connected to acquiring network address.I am sure that the key is correct, I am sure that my router is belkin router is wireless G and so is the Ralink RT2500 card. I am also sure that I have not white listed MAC addresses so my laptop won't connect. Basically I have done every simple thing that perhaps could be causing the problem.

Lost Wireless Connection On Laptop

Jun 2, 2008

My son had his Dell laptop at college and was using their wireless network successfully. He came home last week and tried using his laptop on our home wireless network (w/Linksys router). He said he was not able to always connect so he tried to set up (configure, repair) the wireless connection himself (always a dangerous thing to do).Now he gets no internet at all (IE always goes into 'offline' mode) under Windows XP home.I've tried to trouble shoot the connection but so far I have been unsuccessful. The laptop can see the wireless network (it shows as available and connected). There is something wrong with the network connection that IE uses but I don't know how to go about fixing it.

Laptop Not Seeing Wireless Network Connection

Sep 13, 2005

I got my computer fixed See thread I am having another slight problem. I don't think that this problem was necessarily caused because of the others issues I have recently fixed because I have had this issue in the passed but it just seemed to fix itself. I have a HP zd7000us laptop with wireless capabilities. However I the system does not even show any wireless network available. My desktop in my house has no problems going online with the wireless, neither does my psp for that matter. It's like the computer doesn't even know it's there. I went to the hardware wizard on my system and it says the wireless card is working properly but it will not see any available wireless networks.

Wireless Switch Causes Laptop Constantly To Restart

Apr 15, 2008

I have tried a search here, but not found a thread with the same problem as mine. That may well be my fault; I am relatively inexperienced so may be using the wrong search terms. My apologies if that is the case.I have a Sony Vaio laptop running XP with a built in wireless which can be switched on or off with a sliding button at the front. The laptop has not been used for a couple of weeks, and now I find that it will not start up properly as long as the wireless is switched on. If it is on, the laptop constantly restarts then crashes and restarts again, never getting started up properly. If I switch off the wireless, it will start perfectly normally. If I then switch the wireless on after a normal startup, it may take a few seconds or a few minutes, but it will then crash and go back to the restart-crash cycle. There is an error screen which comes up but it is too briefly displayed to read it or get a screenshot.

I did a little research and tried a system restore which did not work. I also tried restarting without my wireless keyboard and mouse hooked up. When I did that and switched on the wireless, it stayed up long enough for me to connect to my network (the only time it was up long enough) then reverted to the restart/crash cycle again.

Connecting Dell Laptop Wireless Connection

Dec 1, 2008

I'm working on a Dell laptop for a friend Latitude D630 running Windows XP Pro SP2. Seems the only place he can connect to a wireless network is at his home.I now have the laptop trying to figure what the problem is. Here's what I found. I was able to connect to the internet via a wireless at my place. First on another friend's wireless unsecured connection. I was also able to connect via my own connection a WEP secured connection. Connectivity lasted for about 30 minutes. I was suddenly disconnected with a message saying the there was no connectivity via my WEP connection. I then tried the unsecured connection and was able to connect to the net at least for a few minutes. Since that time I've had some trouble connecting. I've opened a command prompt and entered ipconfig / release, then ipconfig /renew. It works on the unsecured wireless connection, but not on the WEP network.

Dell Laptop - Wireless Connection Gone After Restore

Nov 15, 2007

Computers are 2 identical Dell Latitude D600 with XP Pro.Dell #1 was given to me. It had never had ANY updates applied, had 56 Trojans and a bunch of other problems. I took it to the local library and used their WiFi connection to download Grisoft AVG, Ad-Aware and Microsoft Malware Removal to clean it up. I then was given an identical used Dell #2. it was at the SP2 level, so I again went to the library and updated this one with 85 XP updates.Then, as a learning experience, I restored XP Pro on Dell #1 from a Dell CD, P/N 1R594 and then installed SP2 on it. All went well.I then tried to use WiFi on Dell #1. I tried to create a new connection, but when I clicked on finish nothing got created.I looked at Dell #2 which has a working WiFi connection and noticed that when I click on All Programs I see an entry for Dell Wireless, containing 2 itemsDell Wireless WLAN card Readme and Dell Wireless WLAN card Utility This entry does not appear on Dell #1 even though I used it on a Wireless network prior to the XP PRO CD restore today.

Dell Inspiron Laptop Wireless Internet Locked Up

Jul 23, 2007

As fate would have it, the warranty expired on the 15th of July - The computer is a Dell Inspiron laptop - running windows XP. After being left online overnight in a hotel with wireless internet it locked up. Currently we get different results (but all results end in a lock up at the windows screen) - usually it comes up with a screen saying "we apologize for the inconvenience, but windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this" (no new hardware or software was installed prior to lockup) It gives you options to try to start - (I can't remember what all it said - but safe mode was a choice and going back to a prior time was a choice) Usually it is just locked up and you can't click on anything.

Once I did get it to go to safe mode and I tried to do a system restore - It did go through all the motions of doing a system restore - but when rebooted - the same "we apologize" error was there - WHen I can click on a starting option it goes to the windows screen - the blue line runs for a few seconds - then it just locks up. Dell wants a small fortune to help me over the phone. This is my son's college computer. I was thinking he probably picked up a virus when he was online in the hotel. Is that possible? It has let me get into set up by pressing F2 during boot - but I have no idea what to do there (if anything) F12 is another option it gives - but it wont do anything when I push that.

Laptop Won't Connect With My Modem - Wireless And Eathernet Cable

Both wireless and eathernet cable. Using modem ok now with other laptop. Self diagnosis and tech at telco seems to indicate a problem within laptop. Couple of things came up: "Error TCP/IP adapter binding" and "TCP/IP not connected". Tech asked if I hit a keyboard key that shut it down. They referred me to Toshiba. I think I tried all the "Control Panel..Internet Connection" stuff.

Sharing Wireless Internet On Home And Professional Editions

Feb 20, 2006

I'm trying to help a mate set up a wireless network to share his new adsl connection between 2 desktop pc's in different parts of the house. He has a modem/router and a switch/wireless ap device, and a usb wireless dongle each machine. Have had all sorts of problems, solved one by one, but for this last one. One of the pc's works fine (Win XP Home), while the other one times out with any internet access attemp (Wn XP Pro sp2). He doesn't need the pc's to talk to each other, only to the internet. one is his and the other his wifes, and they both have work stuff on their machines and don't do lan parties etc. He just wants to get online at the same time. From the machine that doesn't work, I can ping the other pc, the AP, and the modem router fine, but it can't find anything beyond the modem.

If I ping a domain name rather than ip address, it can't even find a dns server to resolve the name. I have spent hours going over and over all the settings. Both machines are set up identically in every respect (relevant to the network that is) but for the fact that one is XP Home and the other XP Pro. Both use only Windows Firewall, and in fact for testing, I've disabled firewall completely on the recalcitrant machine. Both use the same AP, switch, router and modem, and get their IP from the same dhcp server in the modem. I can't figure out why one is working, and the other isn't. My last "long shot" is some difference between XP home and XP Pro. I've never used Pro before, but figured that there shouldn't be a difference for the simple stuff I need to achieve here. but hopefully, I might be wrong?

I can only start my PC in safe mode as normal mode gives me the error message stated below each and everytime. I can not use the 'Last Good Configuration' mode as it gives me the same Blue Screen message. I safe mode it won't allow me to use System Restore as it tells me to restart my PC then use System Restore. I have not run out of hard disk space as I have 75Gb left on my hard drive. The only thing that I could imagine that could've created this problem is that I downloaded a few diagnostic programs including registry ones and wanted to clean up my PC. After I used the programmes I uninstalled them.
