With the release of Windows XP, Microsoft tried to make configuring and connecting to wireless networks easy for everyone. They partially succeeded. The Wireless Zero Configuration service is the “brains” behind managing wireless connections with Windows. Unfortunately, WZC does not always make sane decisions, which can cause sensations of frustration and annoyance, not to mention itching and burning.

I've used forums for a while now to assist me in my learning and any troubles I may face in using my laptop and PCs. This post is the best I've seen so far in terms of ease of use and clarity. I don't know why my laptop stopped connecting automatically, but what a pain it has been. I am using Vista and apart from clicking administrative tools in the control panel instead of performance and maintainance it worked the same. This fixed it neatly and quickly.

I have followed all of the steps above and I still receive a screen that says
No Wireless Networks Were Found In Range

Make Sure the wireless switch on your computer is on.
Too see an updated list, click "Refresh network list."

I do so and nothing appears. I can connect via the Intel PROSet/Wireless but am still unable to use windows to manage my Wi-Fi

I recently reinstalled XP as my computer was having some major difficulties ie. Fatal System Error
