I tried 3 or 4 times to just set the key and connect but it never worked. That's interesting. I haven't played with the command line utility much, as XWLAN seems to do what I want, and I find myself connecting to a number of different networks these days, needing to store profiles. I now have dhcpstrt -i lan0 in startup.cmd lan0 is wired nic so I can boot up and if the wire is plugged in it connects on lan0. Xwlan will connect lan1 wifi and bring down lan0. when I turn off wifi in Xwlan it brings down lan1 but fails to bring lan0 back up. You can set a script to do this in XWLAN; check out Christian's docs and the relevant samples he provides. I don't know relevant steps to bring down one network and bring up the other. DHCP won't reconnect on lan0 when I try setting route it says network unreachable. I saw a thread #5877 on the list that has xwlan_cmd file It shows the steps net stop req /y ifconfig lan0 down ifconfig lan0 delete route -fh arp -f ifconfig lan1 address netmask 225.225.225.0 metric 0 mtu 1500 route add default [router address] -hopcount 2 so how to get address from dhcp for ifconfig statement? the script uses a fixed ip address. I will try later I can fake it as the router is supposed to issue the same address to the mac address. I tried the steps above be form but not in that order and never "net stop" so maybe the order is important? NET STOP is only of use if you are using PEER services. The simple script to bring down lan0 and bring up lan1 via DHCP is: ifconfig lan0 down ifconfig lan0 delete dhcpmon -t route -fh arp -f dhcpstrt -i lan1 -d 0 You can do this with REXX, as well. The following is courtesy Neil Waldhauer, with a couple tweaks (here, lan1 is wireless and lan0 is wired): NICON.CMD: /* turn off TCP on Wi-Fi & turn on TCP on the NIC * This command Activates the wired interface & deactivates the Wi-Fi * */ say "Deactivating the wireless interface" '@ ifconfig lan1 down' '@ ifconfig lan1 delete' '@ dhcpmon -t' '@ route -fh' '@ arp -f' say "TCP on wireless interface disabled" say "Activating the wired network interface" '@ dhcpstrt -i lan0 -d 0' say "TCP on wired interface enabled" return NICOFF.CMD: /* turn off TCP on the NIC & turn on TCP on Wi-Fi * This command deactivates the wired interface & activates the wireless interface * */ say "Deactivating the wired network interface" '@ ifconfig lan0 down' '@ ifconfig lan0 delete' '@ dhcpmon -t' '@ route -fh' '@ arp -f' say "TCP on wired interface disabled" say "Activating the wireless network interface" '@ dhcpstrt -i lan1 -d 0' say "TCP on wireless interface enabled" return -- Lewis --------------------------------- Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLE, CLP Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC Accountants / Network Consultants New York / Northern Virginia http://www.2rosenthals.com ---------------------------------
