Using Wireless LAN Utilities in Windows XP
An automatic wireless network configuration utility is available
on notebooks with Windows XP. This utility is enabled by default.
However, if your notebook is equipped with an HP-installed
WLAN device, you may prefer to use the utility designed to work
with it instead of using the Windows utility.
For additional information about using the Windows automatic
wireless network configuration utility, refer to Windows Help
and Support.
For information about the advantages of using HP-provided
utilities, refer to the following section. For information about
installing an HP-provided utility, refer to the Wireless LAN
Utility Installation Instructions provided with your notebook.
Understanding the Advantages of HP-Provided
WLAN Utilities
The HP-provided utilities have advanced capabilities that enhance
the use of your wireless device. These utilities work in a more
integrated fashion with your wireless device to configure and
manage your wireless network. They are also compatible with
Cisco standards and legacy operating systems.
Disabling the Automatic Wireless Network
Configuration Utility
By default, the Windows automatic wireless network configuration
utility will attempt to configure your wireless connection. If you
do not wish to use the automatic wireless network configuration
utility, you must disable it by following these steps:
1. Select Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet
Connections > Network Connections.
2. Right click Wireless Network Connection, then select
Properties.
