Wireless Zero Configuration Service

[Guest]

I have a Toshiba laptop [A15-s157] running Windows XP with
an integrated 802.11b wireless adapter. I haven't been
able to get the wireless adapter to work. I was forced to
use an external D-Link USB adapter [DWL-120d] to connect
to my wireless networks. Having recently been annoyed by
the external device, I began to investigate why the
integrated adapter would not function. I discovered that
the Wireless Zero Configuration Service in Windows XP is
not installed. There is no third party software to control
the internal adapter, thus I need the WZC service. Many
guides which I consulted gave instructions on how to
start/stop the service, but that only works if the service
is available. It is not even listed with the other
services. Any ideas on how to get it installed? Any help
is appreciated. Thanks.

Some laptops have a hardware switch you need to use to turn on
wireless radios. Check and make sure -- then, if you are sure the
wireless radio is "on":

Open services and scroll down to Wireless Zero Configuration Service,
Start the service and set it to automatic. If it does not show in the
list of Services:

run regedit and find

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WZCSVC

add a DWORD entry named "Start" and value "2"
