Well, they brought in this Wireless Zero Config, which automatically jums on the strongest open connection. great idea, huh? well actually, it drops the connection its on, so if u dont have another connection, ur left without a connection.


It can be disabled in the services menu

Well right now it drops the connection sometimes because I assume I have other devices on the same frequency.  My biggest concern is that my internet won't work or my Windows XP os won't work but I can always back up all my stuff.

You internet will work with XP SP2, I can confirm this because I have used it with a wireless laptop. DO NOT disable the Wireless Zero Configuration service. This will stop you from getting ANY wireless internet connection.

That's good.  Should I do anything else before I upgrade to sp2?

Yeah, probably. When I installed SP2, the first reboot took a long time, but all subsequent boots were normal. (y)
