Wired News: Windows XP Bedevils Wi-Fi Users

This article might explain why your Wireless connection suddenly seems to not "work" even though the Network Icon in the System Tray indicates that everything is fine and dandy :) It's easy to point fingers and pin the blame on Windows and the Wireless Zero Config service but this isn't conclusive. The article, for once, helps users disable the service even though it suggests that users rely on the software provided by the Hardware manufacturer - nice try!! I have friends on the Wireless Networking team so I'm going to investigate this further but as someone who has been bitten by this in the past, I'm going to try the solution proposed and see what happens to my Wireless connection...
