XP Wireless Utility problem - Zero Wireless Configuration
Hi,
Inspiron 1300
1370 Mini PCI Adapter
Vigor 2900W Router.
I prefer to use the Windows Wireless management rather than Dells, as it is standard over all my customers' wireless devices.
To this end I have, as normally, disabled the Dell item in msconfig to avoid confusion, since I have found it can cause the Windows utility not to work. This has worked on several Dell Wireless laptops I have setup in the past.
However on this site, Laptop has been working with no problem, until the last few days.
When the Laptop is started up the zero wireless configuration service starts then stops - the event code is a standard one 7306 and I can find nothing about it on google groups of MS KB. There are other references to WZC problems on this forum, but they are not the same as mine.
I have ensured the service is automatic and also set it to attempt to restart after a stop.
But to no avail, the connection drops after a short time after the WZC is restarted, and the connection drops. The laptop is a few hundred miles away and I lose remote connection when this happens. cue much wailing and knashing of teeth!
So, any ideas? I'm thinking of uninstalling the Dell Wireless software in case its still shutting down WZC, but being remote makes that fairly timeconsuming.
thanks in anticiaption.
