A quick search through the archives on this list comes up with: http://mail.2rosenthals.com:8100/Lists/os2-wireless_users/Message/5906.html?Language= wherein Christian responded to a similar issue concerning the bindings from protocol.ini not getting written to os2.ini for some reason. You might want to try to uninstall and then reinstall the same version of XWLAN (2.14), now that you've got a working GenMAC in place, and see what XWLAN does. There is also an XWLAN list on GMane: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.org.netlabs.wlan.general/ . Christian might be able to offer more substantive help, but feel free to keep this thread going. I'm curious to see if a reinstall does indeed address the problem. -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------ Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLP, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC Accountants / Network Consultants New York / Northern Virginia www.2rosenthals.com eComStation Consultants www.ecomstation.com Novell Users Int'l www.novell.com/openenterpriseserver Need a managed Wi-Fi hotspot? www.hautspot.com ------------------------------------------------------------
