I'm running WinXP Professional SP3 in an older computer that I merely use for simple e-mail. We have two homes: one where I connect the computer via a network cable and the other where wifi is the mode of connection, and which has been used at this location for years.

Recently, I found that I couldn't connect to my wifi at the second location and the only way I could do so would be to stop and start the wireless zero configuration service--and this would only work for a few hours. I ran sfc using my HP WinXP SP3 installation CD and nothing changed. And then, the problem went away after we were back to our other house (wifi works there after I configured a 2.4 extender) and then back to the location where the problem originally was identified. Any insights?
