All about the wireless network setup in Windows XP
Development is base of the life, people started with simple computer, after some time they started using laptops, same was the case with networking, started with wired networks, but now we have moved forward to using wireless networks.
Microsoft also understands the need of wireless networks, so Microsoft added the feature of wireless network in the Windows XP , but the most important thing in wireless network is computer security
.
Now the question arises how to create wireless network.
There are four steps to set up a wireless network
1 Choose your wireless equipment.
2 Connect your wireless router.
3 Configure your wireless network.
4 Connect to the computer.
1 Choosing the wireless equipment is the one major issue , as the strength of the wireless network is totally dependent on the wireless equipment . So select a good wireless router for creating the wireless network.
2 Second step is connecting the wireless network.
For this step we need to have Internet connections to the wireless router.
3 Now the third and the most important one is configuring the wireless router
For configuring the wireless router using network cable connect the router cable with the network port of the computer temporally. Open the Internet explorer, and type the IP address of that router. With default user name and password. After that Internet explorer will open a router configuration page on the IE with the fields detailing
Wireless network name, called as WEP
Wireless encryption key (WEP)
Your administrative password.
Save the settings and click OK.
4 Connect to the computer.
And last but not the least, connect to the computer is the most important factor.
If you do not have computer support for the wireless network in that case we need to have network adapter. Having its antenna, when we connect that adapter to the computer USB windows XP SP2 will automatically detects the wireless network. It will prompt antenna like icon on the task bar
Once that icon start prompting
Right click that (wireless network) icon > click the View available wireless network.
Once Network connection appears, then wireless network connection is connected. > Click Refresh network list and after that click on the Connect. After that Windows XP will ask to enter a WEP key and that only those are able to connect to the wireless net work
Finally remove the wire which we have connected between the router and computer.
Thus the wireless network is mainly used for the laptops, it remove all the hurdles faced during the wired network.

"Microsoft Default IP Address" prevents me from using my wireless network. How do I fix it?
Wireless network was fine before changing modems and having the router "wizard" run automatically. No help so far from the manufacturer (Netgear) although they've tried. I'm not a computer person and need help from someone who speaks something other than "computer", so I can understand it.
When you changed modems - your MAC address changed as well. That is a distinctive number assigned to computer hardware. Consequently the Server that dishes out IP addresses (DHCP) is refusing to hand one out - it is set up to refuse a not recognizable Mac address. Call your ISP -ask to talk to level 2 support - tell them you have a new modem.

Windows Vista Sidebar, Gadgets, Easy Wireless Networking and Improved Back Features
Microsoft has tried to put “active” items on the Windows desktop for nearly
a decade. Finally, with Vista’s Sidebar success seems within grasp. Stability problems that dogged previous versions aren’t as readily apparent — which is to say, Sidebar doesn’t crash nearly as often as, say, Active Desktop in Windows XP — and the items it offers actually help.
The items in the Sidebar, termed Gadgets, can interact with you, with Windows,
with files and folders, with your network, and with other Gadgets. Vista ships with a handful of moderately interesting Gadgets — a clock (you can put more than one clock on your desktop, each set to a different time zone).
Many other features — Put Vista head and shoulders above XP. The standout features include the following:
- Improved backup (although no backup exists in the Home Basic Edition).
- Photo management (via Photo Gallery, not in Home Basic).
- Second monitor support
- Easy wireless networking.
- Vista also helps you burn DVDs, but watch out for the digital rights
Microsoft Windows Vista provides several accessories for Tablet PCs, including Input Panel, Snipping Tool, Sticky Notes, and Windows Journal. All of these accessories use Tablet PC pens, which improve accessibility by making it easier to work with computers. Additionally, people who might not be able to use a computer keyboard and mouse might be able to use a Tablet PC pen as an alternative input device.
As in earlier versions of Microsoft Windows, Windows Vista includes many other features that improve accessibility, including the Filter Keys, Sticky Keys, and High Contrast functions and the Narrator, Magnifier, and On-Screen Keyboard utilities. In Windows Vista, these features have all been enhanced, and most have completely redesigned interfaces. Windows Vista also includes speech recognition software. Using speech recognition, you can dictate documents and e-mail messages, and you can use your voice to control programs and browse the Web.
