No WPA2 with SP 3

I have Windows XP Home SP 3. My wireless home network uses WPA2-AES encryption.

The WLAN management utility supplied by the manufacturer of my wireless equipment (D-Link) has no trouble seeing my wireless network.

Windows Zero Configuration does not see my wireless network. What could be the problem here--something I'm not doing correctly?

Thanks for your help.

"Seeing" the network is not the same as successfully connecting to it.

Please clarify: can you actually connect to your network using the
D-Link utility to control the adapter?

Is your router configured to broadcast your SSID? (If not, turn on SSID
broadcast. "Hiding" your SSID does not increase your security.)

Broadcasting the SSID did the trick. Thanks very much.
