4.5 Windows XP Zero Configuration
Microsoft provides Windows XP Zero Configuration, which means user doesn’t need to use software
provided by the manufacturer. Instead, Windows XP recognizes the adapter and provides the
necessary driver and configuration software.
If your station is within range of a WLAN, Windows XP announces that one or more wireless networks
are available and suggests that you click the Network icon to see a list of available networks.
Configuring Automatic Network Connections
To configure one or more wireless networks for auto connection, follow these steps:
1. Right-click a Network icon in the notification area at the bottom of the screen to display a pop-up
menu. Click the Open Network Connections option.
2. Right-click the Wireless Network Connection icon and click Properties in the Pop-up menu.
Windows XP displays the Wireless Network Connection Properties dialog.
3. Click the Wireless Networks tab, shown as below. Notice that the wireless network that was present
when you first inserted the wireless NIC is already listed.
