Actually, you don't need ANY utility to configure the router. You can
use a web browser and navigate to 192.168.2.1 -- the software utility
is just a bootstrapper that opens the same web page in kiosk mode.
And I've never used the utility to configure the wireless settings on
an XP machine. I've always used Windows XP's native wireless zero
configuration.
