Set up wireless network not appearing in Network Connections

When I open up the Network Connections box in Windows XP Home I have the "set
up home network" but not the "set up wireless network connection". Can
someone tell me how to get to it or turn it on if it's turned off. I looked
at the "add/ remove Windows components" but didn't see anything there that
needed to be turned on.

Is Service Pack 2 installed on your computer?

If you've installed SP2, you'll find "Set up a wireless
network..." listed under Network Tasks in My Network Places.
You can also start the Wireless Network Setup Wizard from the
Control Panel or Start -> All Programs -> Accessories ->
Communications -> Wireless Network Connection Wizard.

If SP2 is not installed on your system, you're probably best
off using the software that came with your wireless adapter.

Good luck
