How do I use the service Wireless Zero to establish a connection?  I started
the service in the Admin tools but have no idea how to use it.

Thanks..all's well now.  The problem was in the laptops factory software, I
fixed that by way of a knowledgebase report and then got the service started
properly and connected to the network.

Hi
Windows Zero Configuration is just a pre-requisite for Windows to do
Wireless.
However, to actually use a Wireless connection you need a Client Wireless
Card on your computer, and a Wireless Source.
The Wireless source can be your own Wireless (as described in Al's link), or
a public Hot Spot (like the ones available in Starbucks.
You can find ore info in the following pages, http://www.ezlan.net/#Wireless
