Actually you are better off switching off Windows Zero configuration, and
using the Until that comes from the manufacturer.
It is Not Windows fault, many Brands deviate from the Windows Util spec.
deeming it not useful, and at time might create a problematic connection.
With the release of XPSP2 it probably would change.

no you don't. just manually enter the ssid, channel, and wep or wpa keys
and you are done. wzc doesn't really do that much that most people need
unless you are traveling or in an office with multiple networks or some
other complex situation.
