Lewis,

In the set of commands you show below [I use them almost verbatim.],
there is the command that stops the DHCP Monitor.  [ dhcpmon -t ]

BUT, I have had problems trying to get the monitor back so it will
display the status, config, etc., of the newly started LAN1.  I've
tried specifying:
dhcpmon -i LAN1
but this seems to do absolutely nothing.

Can this be done?  What, if anything, am I missing?

TIA,
Carl

I fixed the encryption. had to set the key and reboot?
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
