Any way to import or export a wireless setting?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

Thank you, Diamontina,

I suppose you are correct, but this is exactly the type of solution I was
hoping to avoid.

It seems that there should be one registry hive.... or a "Wireless config
wizard" that could import and export a config in a file.

If this were only UNIX.....

Thanks for the help though.

Use the wireless setup wizard in XP. run through the wizard and configure it to connect to your network then have it saved to a usb. This can be used to connect each computer. I can be zipped up and sent via email. Try it out it works great. I use it to setup nontechies wireless and this allows them to add computers to the network by plugging in a USB.

When they plug in the usb it says do you want to join the "SSID" network?

Hope this helps..
