FIXED: sp2 prevents my wireless to autostart.

[Bacardi151]

ever since i installed win xp sp2, my internet connection won't work unless i click on apply changes on my SMC2802W WLAN utility (it's a monitor type of thing), but the thing is that i have not made any changes, but i simply have to click it each time the system boots up. it also shows that there's a link and a signal, but the internet won't work until i press the button. this never happened prior to the sp2 installation, does anybody know how i could fix this?


edit: nevermind! it's fixed, apparently WZC was the cause of it, after turning it off/disabling and rebooting, my wireless was able to connect by itself without me pressing apply changes (whereas there was NO changes made). i've seen a bunch of other people with similar problems, so my 2 cents is to try disabling WZC.

If not used WZC sevice should be disabled, regardless of the SP.

yeah it should, but it's automatically on when windows xp is installed, and likewise when sp is installed i think, and some people arent aware of it, so just a heads up for those who arent aware
