 "The dream of a wireless-enabled new millennium was a WiFi-blanketed world
that enabled seamless roaming for new generations of phones, MIDs and UMPCs.
Microsoft felt strongly about this dream, and promised unprecedented support
for wireless devices in Windows XP. They delivered in the form of the
Wireless Zero Configuration (WZC) service, and it was designed to eliminate
the irritations of vendor-specific WiFi utilities. Any wireless card could
interface with WZC, and the subsequent addition of WPA support kept the
utility up to speed with the progress of WiFi. In theory, the goal of WZC is
an admirable one, but its execution leaves quite a bit to be desired. The
seamless wireless roaming that WZC was supposed to cultivate has made it an
unacceptable solution for single-WAP environments. As users around the globe
connect to their lone wireless router with the service, they suffer lost
connections, lost packets and high pings. Today we're going to cover the
whys and hows of the issue to ameliorate one of XP's biggest nuisances." ~icrontic.com
