Wireless network not showing up - Windows XP
I have a computer than ran low on memory and the Windows Zero configuration was turned off. I resolved the ow disk space problem and restarted the Windows Zero configuration. I can see two other networks, but I can't see my network and many others that usually appear. I have two other computers on the wieless network and they are up and running fine.
Does anyone have any ideas what I could do to see my network. It may be a channel problem since I can see only two networks nd not the usual six I can see (including mine)?

Sure it was your wireless zero config that turned off because of the low disk space, or was it something else that turned it off?
Never seen low disk space do this before, but some cellular/wireless connection applications will turn off the Windows Zero config so that the application can manage the connection.
What I would do is manually put in your wireless settings( on the computer not connecting) for your router instead of waiting for the network to appear to see if this can you get you connected.

Another thing you can try to do, is just restart your router
Do you also have another wirelesss device to see if this is working on your wireless router?
If you have a droid phone, there's an app that will let you see the available wireless networks if you do not have another computer.

Opps, didn't see where you said, "I have two other computers on the wieless network and they are up and running fine."
What you can also do on these two working computers, is go into the setup an just look to make sure the settings for the Wireless config matches all three too.

It was hit and miss, but the wireless network was finally restored.
You'd think I could type in the router name for non-broadcast routers but that doen'st always seem to work.
YMMV
