Error: windows can not configure this wireless connection <\/span><\/h1>\n

You get this error, “windows can not configure this wireless connection”, when you try to connect on a windows XP computer. On your computer there might be 2 different utilities or software which can connect you to the network. When you try to connect using the windows software, you will get this message. Because at that time your computer is using the other software to connect. Let’s take an example. You have a DELL laptop. On your DELL laptop there must be a DELL adapter installed. This adapter has it’s own software to connect to the network ( DELL monitor \/ utility). That means you have 2 different utilities on your computer to connect . One is windows utility and the other one is DELL utility.<\/p>\n
