This post provides server support to fix wireless network problems, These Steps provides basic troubleshooting for wireless network problems, It is applied for home server support or Small business support Services
To troubleshoot wireless network connections in Windows XP, follow these steps:
1. Check the Windows Catalog at http://www.windowsmarketplace.com (http://www.windowsmarketplace.com) to determine if there is a Windows XP-compatible driver that is available for your wireless adapter.
If there is a compatible driver, install the updated driver before you perform any additional troubleshooting procedures.
If there is not a compatible driver, you may be able to use the network adapter, but its configuration and functionality may be very limited.
2. Determine if the driver that you are using recognizes the Windows XP Wireless Zero Configuration service. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2. In the right pane,click Network and Internet Connections.
3. In the right pane, click Network Connections.
4. Right-click Wireless Network Connection, and then click Properties.
5. View the available options:
If you do not see the Wireless Network Connection icon in the Network Connections folder, or if you cannot view the properties, there is a problem with the driver for the wireless network adapter. To troubleshoot this problem, see the Driver installation issues section.
If you can view the properties for the Wireless Network Connection icon, but you do not see a Wireless Networks tab, see the Drivers that do not support the Wireless Zero Configuration service section to continue troubleshooting.
If you can view the properties, and you can see and use the Wireless Networks tab, see the Drivers that support the Wireless Zero Configuration service section to continue troubleshooting.
If the Authentication tab is missing in the Wireless Network Connection properties, make sure that the Wireless Zero Configuration service is running.

What is LAN, WLAN, WAN, MAN, SAN, CAN, PAN and GAN ?
Computer networks are bunch of interconnected PC or computers that facilitate the exchange of data or some other purposeful work. The first computer network to be designed was the "Advanced Research Projects Agency Network" (ARPANET) for the United States Department of Defense in the late 1960s and early 1970s. From then on, numerous new network technologies have been developed.
Computer networks can be classified into different types based on their scale of operation. They include:
Computer networks are an integral part of our lives. It is only because of networking that telephones, televisions, radios, and the Internet are at our fingertips.
Computer networks can be classified into different types based on their scale of operation. They include:
- LAN: Local Area Networks cover a small physical area, like a home, office, or a small group of buildings, such as a school or airport.
- WLAN: Wireless Local Area Networks enable users to move around within a larger coverage area, but still be wirelessly connected to the network.
- WAN: Wide Area Networks cover a broad area, like communication links that cross metropolitan, regional, or national boundaries. The Internet is the best example of a WAN.
- MAN: Metropolitan Area Networks are very large networks that cover an entire city.
- SAN: Storage Area Networks help attach remote computer storage devices, such as disk arrays, tape libraries, and optical jukeboxes, to servers in such a manner that that they appear to be locally attached to the operating system.
- CAN: Controller Area Networks allow micro controllers and devices to communicate with each other without a host computer.
- PAN: Personal Area Networks are used for communication among various devices, such as telephones, personal digital assistants, fax machines, and printers, that are located close to a single user.
- GAN: Global Area Networks support mobile communications across an arbitrary number of wireless LANs and satellite coverage areas.
- INTERNETWORK: Internetworking is the process of connecting two or more distinct computer networks or network segments through a common routing technology.
Computer networks are an integral part of our lives. It is only because of networking that telephones, televisions, radios, and the Internet are at our fingertips.

Wirless Network Advantages
Here are some of those advantages in case you are still on the fence regarding why you should go wireless:
If you have looked into setting up, or have set up a home office, or a small business, you’re probably aware of how far technology has come in terms of what’s available to the average consumer. What used to take up a whole room can now fit neatly under a desk. You can have a multi-server wireless network with a handful of workstations and all the bells and whistles. But is this right for you? Maybe not, but a wireless network may be the key to making your workplace more efficient.
A wireless network is a great way to expand the capabilities of any office, large or small. Even a single computer that sits on the same desk will benefit from a wireless set up. I’ll start with the obvious. There are no wires! Going wireless really tidies up your workspace. A wireless router is easy to tuck out of the way, and replaces yards, or miles of cables going across your office. In the early days of wireless, people assumed losing the wires would degrade signal quality or slow down operations. This isn’t true at all. With a wireless set up, your data will go just as fast as it would with a wired set up.
As strange as it sounds, a wireless environment can improve the aesthetics of your office, which improves the mood and morale of you and your co-workers. Having a laptop and being able to go freely through the office is convenient and efficient. Employees will be more motivated to work when they can do so in a comfortable environment. If you ever rearrange your office, or move to the other end of the building, it will be easy to get set right up on the network in your new location. In addition, you can easily add new units or expand without spending a lot of money on expanding your network.
In the business world, a key advantage of setting up a wireless network is the savings. After installing a wireless network, you will quickly see a return on your investment. You won’t need to spend money on cable or maintenance of extra equipment. Wireless routers are available for any budget. Most new computers are set up for wireless as a stock feature. If yours is not, PCI cards are available starting around $20, and enable a PC to run on a wireless network. Wireless receiver cards also available for laptop computers for an average of around $40-50. As with PCs, most laptops come with wireless capability as a stock feature.
wireless network is a great way to improve your work environment. There are many advantages you won’t realize until you make the change yourself. I find myself laying on the couch typing this article right now on my laptop, and that’s reason enough for me.
