Let Windows XP Manage Wireless or Intel Proset

Question

Should I let Windows or Intel Proset manage my wireless connection?  I seem to have trouble sometimes with not being able to access webpages also.  I don't know if this is because of who is managing the wireless or if it's some other reason.  For example, I was trying to access the Sears website and kept getting page unavailable.  Just wondering about this but am more interested in knowing who should manage my wireless connection.

it shouldn't really matter. normally i use the card's software just because it usually has more features

There are some known issues with the Windows Service....unless you absolutely need it (eg. to logon to a domain before the Proset utility can start), use the ProSet utilities.

How do I turn off the Windows?  Is it by just telling proset to manage the wireless connection?

Two ways - uncheck the box that says something about let Windows handle my wireless connections or stop the Wireless Zero Configuration Service.

Networking, Internet, & Bluetooth
