Windows Zero Config - NAT - 01-15-2012

A buddy wants to know ,,if he uses a Realtek Wireless adapter does he need to install the drivers or can he just insert it in the computer then go and use Windows Zero Config???? I said I don't think so,but I'd ask!!!!

Hello,

Windows zero config came in with Windows XP, but works better on Windows 7, especially with older WLAN cards. My dad got a new computer and when we installed windows 7 it detected and installed the drivers for his Realtek Wireless Adapter. It detected the wireless LAN's in the areas and conected without issue when we selected ours.

However, I would recommened finding and downloading the latest drivers from the manufacturer. They tend to be a bit more stable than those issues via Microsoft's online update.

Good luck,

Steve
