Running Vista, and I keep losing the wireless connection. When I
troubleshoot this, I'm told that "The windows wireless service is not running
on this computer". I'm then allowed to start it, and everything is then OK.

Any ideas what this is / how I prevent it?
 
I am having the same problem. It is connected at one point and i can browse
and serve without a problem then after like 30 sec, it says im disconnected
or it is extremely slow

Im running a wireless G network card and router. When i get back to xp
(dual boot) everything works fine
 
I have a similar issue, each time I startup, I have no network connection,
when I diagnose, It says "The windows wireless service is not running
on this computer". I start it then everything's ok (it finds my wireless
network), until I shut down, then next time I boot up, same problem. How do I
set the Windows Wireless service to Auto-Start, I can't find it in the list
of services.

I am running Vista Ultimate, with a Linksys Wireless-G USB Network Adapter
 
The wireless service is named "WLAN Autoconfig" -- if you go into your
Services list (Start, right-click Computer, Manage; Services) it should be
toward the bottom.
 
Thanks for that - All working now...

Yeah from what I can tell is only automatically started when Vista notices
that you have a laptop. My laptop has it already but I had to manually set
this on my PC.

Hey Microsoft - how about this automatically starts when you detect a
wireless card?!
