Have you tried to download updates from Dlink? Aslo what the version and model number. I myself lucked out with my laptops card and I just use the software from the MFG of the chipset.
When you say the windows one dosnt work what do you mean? If the boxs are grayed out I would say your wireless zero configuration service is disable or not running, so type services.msc in the run box, and find it and see if its running. I dont know why anybody wouldnt want to use the windows one...
Unfortunately some Mfg's don't provide a utility that will work with XP, assuming XP's WZC will do for them. Zero config isn't perfect but it is serviceable.
xeetim, perhaps a tad more information and your problem might help. Sounds like you need to troubleshoot the card, not the software.
The XP utility with SP2 is much improved. Wireless in general was a focal point for the XP SP2 team. It is signficantly improved. Just a thought. Might not want to take the plunge just yet however I run SP2 on all my machines, production and otherwise. There is a nice uninstall utility if you do have problems. Just realize SP2 is still in Release Candidate stages. Should be gold any day now and RC1 works well.

I have the Dlink DWL-G510 card. Here's the wierd part, both WZC and Dlink's utility show that this is a connection and good signal too but I just can't get on the internet. Nothing net related works. The really wierd thing is, "T-mobile connection manager" works fine and I'm able to surf the net. I would continue to use it but it's shareware and I've only got a few more days.
Clean install of SP2 and I've got similar issues. With 3com 3CRWE454G72 AP 1.03.05, Netgear WG311T(Atheros) and Cameo WLG-1201(Texas Instruments) won't even see the AP. Using 1.02.11 they see the AP but can't join the network using DHCP or static, manufacturer utilities or Windows wireless zero config, last two sets of drivers tried on both cards. WPA , WEP or no encryption. For a focus on wireless MS techs have outdone themselves on this release.
SP1a, no problem.
The rest of SP2 feels a lot more integrated and "finished" though.

The software that came with my thinkpad is great.

They said it doesn't work for a lot of cards though but you might try it and see if it works.
