Thanks Lewis, and everyone who replied.


I tried bumping Injoy in the MPTS Transport services app to a higher
logical adapter number, but as yet have not managed to get it working.


As requested:

dimtest.exe reports:

Wireless LAN Monitor DIM Test executable - Netlabs WLan Project 2003-2006

- initializing WLan driver access ... Ok.
- querying number of available WLan drivers ... Ok.
- querying information of available WLan drivers ... Ok.

  DIM Module: D:\WPS\XWORKPLACE\PLUGINS\XCENTER\XWLAN\GENMAC.DIM
 Driver Name: WRND32$
Driver Title: GenMac Wrapper Intel 2915 a/b/g [8086:4224]

- termination WLan driver access ... Ok.



but Wireless Lan Mon widget shows IP interface is disabled: lan2
