Hello everybody, I hope somebody will be able to help me. I have 2 laptops at home that I want to use wireless. To do that, I recently bought and installed a LinkSys Access point. Since the first laptop uses Windows XP, I had no problem to make it work wireless.
Instantly the computer has detected the wireless connection. It is with the other computer that I have problem. The second computer does not use XP but Windows professional with a Centrino processor by the way, I cannot uninstall Windows and replace it by XP, I have to keep Windows I have read that Windows , even if I have a Centrino processor, is not made to automatically work wireless.
Can someone tell me, what I need to do or to install in order to make my second laptop work wireless and detect the wireless connection around. Thanks a lot!! Guest Guest. I am having an identical problem. Can anyone help us? Hey Nancy if you get this solved can you email me how you did it?
Thanks Derek. But you have to use a 3rd party wireless configuration client since windows does have an inbulit one like win XP. The clent utility that you have to install depends on the wireless card installed in the computer. If you can let me know the make of the wireless card installed in your computer then I can exactly let you know about the utility that you have to download. Try installing one of them in your computer and check if it works.
Also you need to enable a wireless zero configuration service in windows before installating the utility. Then in the window that opens, please loacte the wireless zero configuration uitlity, double click it and then change the startup type to automatic and also start the service.

If u have centrino, then you have an wireless card intel.
