Hello
I have a older dell laptop with xp and a wireless card.I had the same problem.
What you need to do is.
1- On your other pc, log into the router by opening internet explorer and typing in 192.168.1.1 in the address bar.Hit enter.
username =admin
password = password or admin.
2-Once in the routers page find the wep key in the wireless page,write this key down.
Make sure wireless is enabled.Log out of router.
3-Now start your laptop,once started right click on the nework icon in the lower righthand side.Scroll down to view available wireless networks.Find your network and highlight,click connect.
4-Now you will need to enter the wep or security key in the boxes,this is the key you wrote down earlier.Then click connect.
Now windows is managing your connection,once your connected update xp to service pack 3 and install all latest security updates from windows update.
Here is a link too microsoft on this procedure.

On the Dell laptop latitude d620 do you have the wireless utility installed
?
Go to start -->control panel -->network connections-->and tell if you see the wireless adaptor .
The netgear router, must have a software program,for wireless adapters.
To enable the wireless adapter ,Go to Start->control Panel->network connections->double click on wireless adapter.
In Windows XP's Classic View, you can use the steps in order to enable automatic wireless network connection.
Open the Start menu and click Control Panel. Double-click Network Connections.
Right-click Wireless Network Connection and click Properties.
Select the Wireless Networks tab.
Select the Use Windows To Configure My Wireless Network Settings check box.
Click OK

Dell laptop will have a dell wireless application that will be controlling the wireless adaptor.
You can open that from Start - Programs (or all programs) - Dell - Dell wireless utility (or in some case intel proset utility). open that and you can use it to connect to your wireless network or you can disable it and allow windows to manage the wireless adapter.
If you have any issues in doing the same please reply to this post.
Thank you for contacting Fixya.
For that you need to enable wireless on router. Follow below. Connect your router to computer with ethernet cable then you can access it with following default link. http://192.168.1.1 or http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.15.1 or http://192.168.2.1 If you are not able to access it with above ip then check your computers ip address gateway ip is your router ip try with it. Then it ask for user name and password. Type user as "admin" and password as "admin" or "password" or blank. Then you can see configuration page of router. If you are still not able to access router with above ip then you need to RESET it for that press RESET button for 10 seconds it is in back side of router then all settings defaults..Then you can access it with above method. . Click on wireless turn on wireless then save settings and restart router. Then click on wireless->wireless security->WEP security there is code password note down it or enter new password then save setting s and restart router. then you can connect wireless with new password. Let me know if you need further assistance. Thanks for using FixYa.
There are several ways and commands to enable the Wireless Service. First of all, please follow the recommended instructions mentioned by Microsoft [Click Here].
If there is not hardware or driver issue with the Wireless Card, performing the instructions mentioned in that thread will definitely fix your issue. The post has several illustrated screenshots for easy reference.
If you need further help, please let me know.
Good Luck.
Thanks for using FixYa.
If you need the pdf document, you can download the same document I've linked here [Click Here].
Great, proceed forward. It states that the service is disabled, should be "STATE : 4 RUNNING". Also go to Page 11 and perform the procedure mentioned there. That will enable that service. I would also recommend you to perform all the steps mentioned including the Driver Installation. Good Luck.
Ok, it seems the wireless network wasn't setup properly. Please refer to the Page 11 of the first tutorial and reverse the steps, means set "Automatic" where you set "Disabled". You'll need to restart your computer once. Now repeat the steps in Page No.1.
Well, if you wish to find another, I will gladly opt out. I thank you for everything and for all your "responses". As you know, it's hard to find something as responsive as you. All the best.
Sorry... *Someone not something.. :)

Here are the recommended steps to connect to a wireless base router 1. Check and remove power from both your router and the DSL ROUTER/CABLE ROUTER MODEM 2. Wait one complete minute until applying power to modem then wait one minute before applying power to wireless router. 3. Ensure you have green lights across both devices, specifically, the recieved and sent lights. These same lights will tend to blink rapidly when there is active data, at times this will still blink, and a DNS error will prevent you from connecting to the internet. If this is the case, call your ISP Internet service provider 4. Check your authentication Security key on your router first, then check all your wireless devices to ensure they are on the same network name, key, and channel with the same type of encryption as the router 5. Start one device at a time and check for connectivity, if your still experiencing a problem, check the settings on all your wireless adapters, device drivers, internet browser settings, firewalls and proceed. 6. still have problems, connect a rj45 cable from the router directly to your computer to at least see if your wireless settings are bad or if the router may be bad. 7. Contact your ISP to determine if your receiving singal 8. Avoid using a splitter or parital power backup for yours routers 9. Still having problems, change your wireless router only after your ISP changes their faulty modem 10.Attempt the same process when setting up your new wireless router and or modem ie (internet EXPERT)

So your internet works and and your concerned about your computer saying wireless not enabled? dont be concerned if your internet works is the best advice.
Hello, this service *****SERVICE_NAME: wzcsvc***** is running in the computer background and IT IS THE CAUSE OF THE ERROR. We need to shut down this service. Please use COMPUTER MANAGEMENT CONSOLE to shut down that service. Once you do, that error will disappear and everything will return to normal
Check the authentication (Correct passcode present and installed) for WEP security protocol to make sure you have it inserted into your advanced properties for the pc.
Lets continue

There are two types of wireless utilizies. one of them is controlled AUTOMATICALLY by windows to setup your configuration for you ALL except the encryption WEP code, you need to manually install that to remove the error that your getting.
The other is the wireless software utility that comes with your wireless device. This software allows for more control over the wireless internet process.

I don't think the first expert read my question. I have good internet connection my riutar is working but I have trouble with the new computer as described.
I downloaded the help article and followed the instructions.
Already on page two I find a difference, my computer says:
C:\WINDOWS\systen32\cmd.exe
SERVICE_NAME: wzcsvc
TYPE : 20 WIN32_SHARE_SHARE
STATE : 1 STOPPED
(NOT_STOPPLABLE,NOT_PAUSABLE,IGNORES_SHUTDOWN)
I tried everything from page 11 down. It still does not work.
In the Control Panel for Network Connections I have two icons:
Local Area Connection
Disabled
Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller
Wireless Network Connection
Acquiring network address (after a while this changes to "not connected")
Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-Card
In the taskbar a little computer is trying to connect and the signal organ pipes show a strong signal.
Also, if it helps, when I connect the computer by cable directly to the modem I can get into the internet without a problem.
OK, I reversed the steps to Automatic instead of Disabled. When I start all over again from page 1, I get to page 7
c:\windows\system\cmd.exe, where it says STATE, I get " : 1stopped" instead of " : 4 running"
I am back to square one.
I tried again to set up a new network, to no avail.
If it helps, on my other Laptop which is functioning perfectly, the internet wireless connection reads:
Wireless Network connection
Connected, Firewalled
Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-Card
1394 Connection
Connected, Firewalled
1394 Net Adapter
Local Area Connection
Network Cable unplugged, Firewalled
Broadcom 440x 10/100 Integrated Controller

I have a Dell Desktop and a Dell Inspiron Laptop E1705, both work on Windows XP Home. The desktop has a Comcast connection via Comcast Modem. The laptop works on a wireless network with a Comcast router (made by Netgear).Everything works fine. I recently baught a refurbished Dell Latitude D 620 laptop running Windows XP Professional. I cannot get an internet connection via the wireless network. The little computer symbol in the taskbar shows it's trying to connect with the little yellow ball jumping back and forth. The organpipes next to it show a strong green signal, yet I cannot get a connection. However, if I connect the new Latitude directly via cable to the modem I can get into the internet without a problem.
What can I do?
I have the WLAN Card Utility. It shows my network. Now, how do I connect it or diable it? Tell me step by step
What is the wireless utility?
I don't see a wireless adaptor
Please read my previous replies carefully
I followed poin1. After "admin" and "password" I get the Router Status but cannot find the web key
When I go to the laptop and right klick on the wireless ikon I only get this message:
"Windows cannot configure thi wireless connection.
If you have enabled another program to mannage this wireless connection, use that one.
If you want Windows to configure this wireless connection, start the Wireless Zero Configuration (WZC) service. For information about starting the WZC service, see article 871122 in the Microsoft Knowledge Base on the microsoft.com Web site"
I have done that but this article is too voluminous and I did not get anywhere.
OK I got into the link and printed out the instructions. I will play around, but give me time, my typing is slower than yours. I will com back to you.
I went to "services.msc", got to "automatic" when I click on OK it just jumps to the prvious window.
I went to the registry, got to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WZCSVC
it says add a DWORD entry named 'Start" and value "2"
I don't know haw to do this.
Please read all previous e-mails. I cannot additional details. I cannot and not want to mess with the registry
