How To Configure Wireless Connection In Windows XP

Windows XP supports wireless connectivity, which allows users to connect different devices and peripherals without worrying about those lengthy cables and wires. You can also connect to the Internet wirelessly, through a wireless access point which is within a range. Wireless Internet connection can easily be established by using a wireless adapter. However, at times this wireless adapter can get corrupted due to system changes, or improper configurations. When this happens, your computer will have problems detecting wireless networks within range. You need to make sure that the wireless adapter is within its range, and that the adapter is properly configured. You can easily resolve such XP connection issues, by reconfiguring the wireless settings. The following computer support guidelines will help you connect wirelessly to your Windows XP machine.

Instructions

• As a first step, you need to make sure that the wireless hardware is working properly. Go to the Windows "Start" menu and right-click on "My Computer". From the popup menu, click on "Manage" to open the Computer Management window.
• From the Computer Management window, select the "System Tools" option on the left panel and click "Device Manager." Scroll down the right panel and select "Network Adapters." Make sure that there isn't an "X" on "Wireless Adapters." An "X" means there is a problem with the drivers. Check your computer manufacturer's website for driver updates. If there isn't an "X," your wireless adapter is working normally.
• Go to the "Start" menu and select "Control Panel." Double-click on the "Network Connections" icon and right-click on your Wireless connection. Now click "Properties."
• From the Properties window, click on the "General" tab and further click "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)." Click "Properties" and select the checkbox for "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically." Click "OK" to save the changes.
