OSU Wireless-Network: Turning off Dell Wireless Utility
When setting up OSU Wireless on a Dell laptop using the Windows Zero Configuration service, the Wireless Networks tab may not appear. A message appears stating that Windows is not configured to handle the wireless connection, and to activate the Wireless Zero Config service. This may be due to a pre-existing Dell wireless utility handling the wireless connections. To turn this utility off, do the following:
- Right click on the Dell Wireless Utility, located in the System tray, represented by several green bars, and choose Open.
- Click on the "Wireless Networks" tab.
- Uncheck the "Let this tool manage your wireless settings" checkbox.
- Click Apply then OK.
The Windows Zero Configuration service should now take over handling the wireless connections. Proceed with the OSU Wireless setup for Windows XP.
