If the number left to the TCP/IP protocol bound to your WLAN device driver within MPTS is 0, you must set the interface in the WLAN monitor to lan0, and _nothing else_. Setting it to any other value will help you nothing. "lan7" is the default value only in order to not hurt any running IP interface. I tried to close xcenter and restart it but it didn't seem to do anything. I finally tried opening properties and just closing them but it didn't have and affect either. It wasn't till I switched to Lan 1 and closed out the properties dialog and switched back to Lan 0 and closed the properties dialog that it configured. I haven't applied the fix that was released yet, I will try that and see if that makes a difference The fix was for the install routine only. If the widget shows up in the Xcenter, everything worked so far. Hmm, cannot think of a reason for this. Lets get through what I do on a "new" system, where the WLAN driver is installed. I recommend to do that with the stand-alone executable first. launch wlanstat.exe create a new profile with no TCP/IP configuration and select that profile the widget now must get "green", showing a working WLAN radio connection. If that fails, you have other problems, and, of course, the IP configuration takes place only if a radio connection could be established. If you have problems setting up the radio connection, make sure that the SSID is set correct and check for the proper encryption. That is if your access point uses encrpytion, you must configure the same level and the same WEP keys. Refer to the online help for the security page. when the radio shows green, modify the TC/PIP config for that connection profile to configure a manual address first. Right after closing the properties of the profile and the selection dialog, the configuration takes place. Move the mouse over the monitor to view the IP address set, it should have the configured value. Play around with several IP address values of your IP subnet, it should change every time. export that working profile and reimport it to an empty slot, then open the properties of it and add "DHCP" to the name, change the TCP/IP config to DHCP. Now close this profile and switch back and forth between the two profiles, either setting the IP address manually or via DHCP. Please let me know if that works. thanx, Christian P.S.: Possibly I should add that to the online help... ------------------------------------------------- Christian Langanke COS2E & CWSE Team OS/2 Ruhr e.V. cla@clanganke.de =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to steward@2rosenthals.com with the command "unsubscribe os2-wireless_users" in the body (omit the quotes).
