wireless signal / connection question

[mcd840]

when i had vista and when i turned the computer on it used to connect to the internet automatically no matter what. now that i have xp it doesnt seem to connect automatically. is this because i have a poor wireless signal?

 

thanks once again.

unlikely.

 

How do you connect to the net when you need to ?

 

I am assuming that this is a broadband connection - is it ?

 

Do you have the monitor icon in the bottom right of your screen ?

hi ken, at the momment i go into the start menu, click "connect to" then "wireless network connection"

 

yes the connection is broadband

 

i have a monitor at the bottom right of the screen

 

before when i was running vista it used to connect when the comp was turned on

 

cheers

Hi

 

Is the WLAN Autoconfig Service started and automatic ?

 

Start > type in ....services.msc .......ENTER

scroll down the list to find WLAN Autoconfig

If not automatic then right click on it > Properties

Set the Startup Type to Auto > OK

hi ken, there was 2 options, one being "wired auto config" and one being "wireless zero config" the "wired auto config" was set to manual, i have changed it to auto, the "wireless zero config" was allready at auto.

 

think i have done it

 

thanks

wireless zero

Sorry - forgot you were on XP.

 

think i have done it

Have you sorted it ?

I don't think changing the wired to auto would have solved your wireless problem.
