HP Labtop Wireless Software / Windows Zero ConfigHello -
I'm having problems getting my new HP labtop to reconize a Netgear Router. How do I override the software that came preloaded with the HP and use the Windows Zero Config? The materials I have found online do no seem to work leading to the same response stating to refer to WZC, Document 871122. (Which doens't appear to have useful information on this matter). I appreciate the response!

If I do not have the documentation that explains how to disable the original software. I use the following method to disable entries that look related to HP Network, and Wireless from the Startup, and kill the Process involved. http://www.ezlan.net/infestation#startup http://www.ezlan.net/infestation#process This approach does not delete or change any thing permanently so it can be easily revered if a mistake was made. As for WZC this might help, http://www.ezlan.net/wzc.html Jack (MVP-Networking).

It seems to me that if you have issues with the built-in wireless manager your also going to have problems with WZC. There is no magic bullet so to speak... Can you connect with encryption temporarily turned off on both the Netgear router and your laptop? Are you broadcasting the network SSID? XP sometimes has an issue connecting to an access point that is not broadcasting its SSID. Are you selecting the same type of encryption scheme on both the router and laptop, ie. WPA-PSK (AES or TKIP) or WEP or WPA2? Can you connect to other unencrypted wireless networks like at public hotspots in restaurants, bars (my personal favorite), libraries, etc? Can you connect to other encrypted networks like at a friends house? -- Al Jarvi (MS-MVP Windows Networking) Please post *ALL* questions and replies to the news group for the mutual benefit of all of us...

If, for example, the router is configured for 802.11g only mode and your laptop only does 802.11b then it will never connect.
