Spelling: WindowsXP
Microsoft [1] Windows XP (often shortened to just _XP_) is a
proprietry 32-bit OperatingSystem [2] that runs on recent Intel [3]
personal computers. XP supposedly stands for _experience_.
Codenamed WHISTLER, XP is version 5.1 of the WindowsNT [4] product
family. It features a skinnable user interface and the same 'Start'
menu that we tend to have a love or hate relationship with. The
optimised server version of XP is known as WINDOWS SERVER 2003.
WIRELESS STUFF
Theres a Service running under XP called the "Wireless Zero
Configuration" service, this handles the searching and
auto-association of APs and peers that you have configured via the
"View wireless networks" configuration process.
If you have a card that just wont work under XP, try disabling this
service and relying on the Configuration utility that came with the
hardware. YMMV.
NetStumbler [5], and especially the new .4 version, now supports many
cards previously unsupported under XP.
