Wireless Zero Configuration Service

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

I have a couple laptops in our environment where the Wireless Zero
Configuration service does not start at bootup even though the service is set
to Automatic. Once the service is started I can set the wireless to 'Allow
Windows to configure wireless...' but again after a reboot the service is
stopped and I have to start it and then check the box again in order to use
the wireless card.

I found similar issues on this board but none with solutions.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Laura

Some laptops have a proprietary wireless configuration program that turns
off the windows one. You might have to uninstall these programs before the
windows one will stick.
