Enabling the Wireless Zero Config Service

For Windows XP to be able to use the built-in 802.1x client, the Wireless Zero Configuration Service must be active. If your wireless card setup software has disabled the Wireless Zero Config service, these instructions will aid you in re-activating that service.

To begin open the Control Panel by clicking on the Start Menu, then choose "Control Panel".

 


From the Control Panel, double-click "Administrative Tools", as seen above.

 

 

Double-click "Services", as seen above.

 

 

In the Services window, scroll down until you see the Wireless Zero Configuration service, as seen above. Right-click on that service and choose "Properties".

 

 

In the Wireless Zero Configuration Properties window, change the "Startup type" to "Automatic".

Once you have done this, click the "Start" button to immediately start the Service. Finally, click "OK" to save the new settings.
