I've been using a WinXp w/ SP1 laptop with an internal 802.11b card to
connect to a Belkin router. It had been working fine until a couple weeks
ago when it no longer connected to my preferred network, instead choosing an
SSID of ANY. When I tried to connect to the preferred network, I found that
no available wireless networks show up, and the "available wireless networks"
tab doesn't even show up under the wireless adapter's properties. The only
thing I can think of that's different is some system updates that I might
have installed. Unfortunately I cannot restore to a previous date because
the updates were wiped out due to disk space shortage. I am running WEP and
Wireless Zero Configuration.

Can anybody help? Thanks.

Hi
It might be that you do not have a wireless connection at all.

I would switch off WZC and use the original Brand software to reconfigure
the Wireless. Once it is working you can Switch WZC On again and enjoy the
"Magic".

May be this can Help.
