One thing to note: Even if you have DHCPMON running, it will only show that the lease that you had for your wired connection is no longer there. It does NOT pick up the WiFi lease status. My ignorant explanation is: The monitor is only looking at LAN0. And, the Settings->MonitorInterface only shows LAN0. I have never been able to figure out from any documentation how to get it to switch and look at LAN1. My test to see if the WiFi is active is to simply look at the IPSpeed monitor to see if there is a second network and, if so, switch to what I believe to be the WiFi and see if there is traffic flowing. Doing a ReLoad with Mozilla is also a good clue: If it does something, then the WiFi must be active... ;-) Carl =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 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).
