Missing "Wireless Networks" tab

[Chris]

I upgraded my laptop to Windows XP Pro from Windows 2000
Pro, and now the "Wireless Networks" tab is missing when
I click the Properties for my wireless NIC. Anybody know
how to fix this?

By the way, I checked the "Wireless Zero Configuration"
service, and it's running and set to Automatic already.

You probably need updated drivers/firmware for your wireless client
adapter. What wireless adapter do you have?

 

[Guest]

I have the Intel(R) PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter. I've already updated my driver to the latest possible, and I have friends at work with the exact same computer and wireless adapter, and they don't have this problem. I keep thinking that it's a missing component of Windows XP.

what brand and model laptop and what version of the drivers do you
have installed?

Do you have to uninstall/update the IBM Access Connection program or
other utility?

Yes...I have that utility installed. I've tried getting it to work both ways...with Access Connections and without Access Connections. Either way, I can't get that "Wireless Networks" tab to appear. I've tried getting my wireless card to work using Access Connections, but I keep getting an error saying that something is wrong with my network adapter. Any suggestions

By the way, I was able to get my network card to get an IP address from DHCP from my wireless router. I still can't configure anything of detail (e.g. WEP keys, SSIDs, etc.), but I know that my wireless router and NIC work. I still need to get that "Wireless Networks" tab to appear so I can do that. I appreciate your help with this...let me know if you need anything else. By the way, if you'd like to collaborate more quickly, my email address is (e-mail address removed). Thanks again!

What is the exact error you receive? You stated "but I keep getting an
error saying that something is wrong with my network adapter"

I will not provide email assistance, sorry. If you'd like faster
support, you can always telephone IBM's support desk.

By the way, I was able to get my network card to get an IP address from DHCP from my wireless router.

still can't configure anything of detail (e.g. WEP keys, SSIDs,
etc.), but I know that my wireless router and NIC work. I still need
to get that "Wireless Networks" tab to appear so I can do that. I

I've been having the exact same problem with the same adapter and laptop. access connections doesn't help and i don't have the intel utility installed. i've tried to restart wireless zero configurate, apply hotfixes, update my driver - i still have no wireless networking tab and am unable to view available networks

i don't get any sort of error, i just am unable to configure network settings because that tab isn't there
