windows wireless detector

[luckybob9]

hi, i have a (laptop) windows xp machine that has a wireless card in it. i just got a new laptop and i am giving my current one to my son. the problem i have is that my new laptop displays a balloon in the system tray when it has found a connection, but my old one doesnt. is there any way to get that piece of detection software on my old laptop for my son?
thanks

I would suspect this is the SP2 wireless zero configurator. Update the old laptop to SP2 prioviding its XP
