I have a T43 that's taking over from a T20 thinkpad laptop, it's been working just fine using Genmac2 and XWLan3 and the Intel 8086:4224 Wifi chipset, but every time I try to use the Injoy Firewall product and its .nif wrapper driver the Wireless LAN widget tries to setup lan2, and as there isn't a lan2 network adapter this fails. Or is this a similar problem to when we have the Innotek VPC/2 driver installed, and Genmac not working with wrapper drivers that need promiscious mode. Hi, Chris (nice to settle into another on-topic discussion). I'm not familiar with InJoy per se. Have you tried bumping InJoy to a higher adapter number? My assumption is that InJoy is configuring its own virtual adapter in there somewhere, and this is what is confusing XWLAN. Currently, AFAIK, there is no way to override XWLAN's detection of GenMAC's adapter number (as there was previously). Perhaps this is an issue which is already known to Christian, but knowing him as I do, he would have mentioned it in the docs, and I can find no such entry in the docs. Go to your PLUGINS\xwlan directory and open a command prompt. Run dimtest.exe from there, and please post your results. Also, for the heck of it, would you mind posting your PROTOCOL.INI? -- 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 ------------------------------------------------------------
