Wireless Zero Configuration problem. Won't start automatically

Hi and thank you for any responses.  I have a Inspiron 2650 that is about 10 years old...maybe a bit more.  It's running Windows XP and for the most part, it works absolutely beautifully.  I purchased a Belkin Wireless G Notebook card  (802.11g) model # F5D7010.  I also have a Belkin Wireless G Router,model # F5D7230 -4.  The Belkins were purchased some time ago.  The card started having some problems a few months ago, so I took it out and just plugged in an ethernet cable to the router.  Well, the other day, I spoke to both my DSL company (Bell South) and also to Belkin.  I re-learned how to set up wireless.  All was perfect.  Here is where I am having a problem.

 

When I close the laptop (hybernates) or if I shut it down and then power up, the ion on the bottom right says "Limited or no connectivity".  Now, I know how to fix this.  I go to Start - Run - type in Services.msc, and scroll down to Wireless Zero Configuration.  It is set to Automatic, but I need to right click and 'Start' the service.  I then go into Network connections from the control panel.  I right click on Wireless and go to the middle tab.  The box for 'Use Windows to configure my wireless settings' is not checked.  I check it and then remove the network (mine) showing in the Preferred Networks box.  I click OK.  When the Wireless icon says no connection, I right click again and select 'View available networks'.  I select my network.  I enter my security code and, voila, I am online.  Unfortunately, I need to do this whenever my computer shuts down and powers up.  Also, when I am at Wireless Zero Configuration, I can right click - properties - recovery, and they are all set to 'Restart the service'.  Is there a way to make this service work properly?

 

Thank you
