Hi. I just reformated an old comp with windows xp. However it doesnt detect any wireless networks even though i refresh. Nothing is wrong with my wireless router because i have other computers currently connected to it. What are the possible problems?

Thanks!! :lol:

sorry im not sure what you are talking about. I have a linksys wireless-g 2.4ghz PCI adapter. My windows xp shows this when i click the properties for "wireless network connection". However, when i click "show available networks" it shows nothing. On my laptop however, it shows my network and i am connected. I was wondering what was wrong with my windows xp? thanks again

what should i do with wireless zero confiuration? It was already running and was set to"automatic". I did restart it but it still doesnt detect any wireless networks.
