4.6. Computers running Windows XP: Connecting to a wireless
network
Note: The procedure described hereafter is deliberately intuitive and non-exhaustive. If you have mastered
Windows XP, you will note that there are other ways to achieve the same results. You will find our procedure
set out in the pages that follow, although you are free to choose your own preferred method.
Our procedure is based upon using the WiFi connection software supplied by Windows XP, called Microsoft
Zero Config. Some manufacturers of WiFi adapters supply their own connection software (example:
Hercules WiFi Station bundled with Hercules WiFi adapters). We recommend that you refer to their user
manual for help on establishing your connection.
Once your computer is switched on, your WiFi adapter automatically detects the wireless networks available
and displays them in a specific window.
To view the detected wireless networks:
- In the Windows XP taskbar, click the wireless network icon.
- The Wireless Network Connection window appears.
