My son has an XP PC with Service Pack 3. He is trying to hookup to the home network. We use a DIR-655 DLink Router and he bought a DWA-130 USB adapter. He loaded the driver, but could never find the home network, or any network for that matter. The DLink program trys to set up the network, but only seems to automatically find a neighborhood network that basically doesn't work (too far away) and is not protected and which we don't want to use. Called DLink and they said to find the Wireless Zero Configuration--which turned out not to be on his PC (it is on all the other PCs in the house, including another XP). DLink said to download the latest drivers, which we did. No joy. Dlink said to take the USB adapter back to the store, but I don't see how that will help what seems to be a software problem. Bottom line is neither the Dlink program or the Windows network program can find networks for him to tap into--but the other PCs in the house can. With windows we get an error msg about the Wireless Zero Configuration, with Dlink we get no list at all. I think DLink disables and takes over the wireless connection function from the Windows program. I don't know if it deleted the Wireless Zero Configuration, or what else deleted it. Bottom line is I think the problem is the lack of the Wireless Zero Configuration program.
Question is, how do we get Wireless Zero Configuration back on his PC. Is it OK to reload Service Pack 2 and/or 3 and then he would have it? Would that cause problems? Any other ideas?
