Public Access Wireless

I have been using Public Access Wireless at my local library with ease &
success. Then I learned about network sniffers, tried Network Stumbler which
seemed to work smoothly. Since then, I have been unable to use public access,
and the message from Windows when I try to diagnose is (roughly) 'Windows
can't find.' There is an implication in the message that another program has
taken over from Windows.

How do I give control back to XP?

Thanks, Hearaoi

Hi
Netstumbelr switches Windows XP Wireless Service Off.
You can use Netstmbler to find public hot spot, but you do not need it On
after you found the Hoptspot. When yot trun Netstumbler Off it turn the
control back to Windows.
If you need manully to check and switch Windows Wireless Service On, this
might help, http://www.ezlan.net/wzc.html

Jack,
Thanks. I'll take care of the problem as soon as the library opens.
