No WPA2 with SP 3I have Windows XP Home SP 3. My wireless home network uses WPA2-AES encryption.
The WLAN management utility supplied by the manufacturer of my wireless equipment (D-Link) has no trouble seeing my wireless network. Windows Zero Configuration does not see my wireless network. What could be the problem here--something I'm not doing correctly? Thanks for your help. Daddy Daddy wrote:

Is your router configured to broadcast your SSID? (If not, turn on SSID broadcast. "Hiding" your SSID does not increase your security.) -- Lem -- MS-MVP To the moon and back with 2K words of RAM and 36K words of ROM. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Guidance_Computer http://history.nasa.gov/afj/compessay.htm Broadcasting the SSID did the trick. Thanks very much.
