Hello,
In Windows Vista, it has been renamed to WLAN AutoConfig. It is towards the bottom. -- Eric Cross Microsoft MVP (Windows Networking) http://mvp.support.microsoft.com "wammac" wrote in message ...

zero wireless config
why not try the built in functions of vista to manage your wireless
and not the third party utility? what is the reason you wish to use that utility? On Sat, 17 Mar 2007 07:31:08 -0700, wammac wrote: I have vista on a laptop.

zero wireless config
I have tried using vista. I get limited connection on my network, and can't
connect to my Netgear router. It happened to me before on my XP machines until I disabled windows to control my wireless connection, and used the manufacturers utility. I thought it would be easier to change the vista settings instead of reconfiguring my existing network.

Your only option for Vista currently is the WLAN AutoConfig. Getting the latest driver update definitely may help.

zero wireless config
That is the latest firmware. As Pavel posted, newer NIC driver may
help. You will need to connect with a wired NIC and use Windows Update to see if there is a better/newer wireless driver. Please post back here either way.
