Found it. To make a long story short (again) I had to find the serivce in the Registry, add a "Start" line to the key, and reboot. I am typing this wirelessly to prove it works.
Start - Settings - Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Services and starting it there is easier and safer for those who don't know about registry editing.
I Have read your responce to this string. I am having a similar problem, but I need more detailed directions on how to add the Wireless Zero Config to the registry. I appreciate your help.
Right, it sure is. However if the service is completely missing, as in not listed in "Services" at all, there is no way to resurect it from the Services control panel. Thus Registry editing was necessary to add it to the list, then I could go to Services to "Start" it.
I am running an Inspiron 1150 and use a wireless router to connect to the internet. I run WInXP and all updates have been done. As of Friday, the system does connect to the router. Interestingly enough my other computer an Inspiron 8200 has the same problem at the same time - it could not see the router.
After much trouble shooting, I determined the Wireless Zero Configuration Service was off. I reconfigured it for both computers, but the problem persists for the 1150. No matter what I do, the service does not start on boot.
Is this a network card driver problem or some virus?
