Re: how does xwin resolve ip addresses
Ok, problem resolved. After much digging around and non-help from 3Com I have sussed the damn thing out. When such a thing happens, either the ipconfig not returning the whole information or a 20106 error in the system log (doesn't seem to matter if it's talking about a different interface), the RRAS service is the damned culprit. So answer was disable the damn thing. Thanks to all that helped and many thanks to Ago, Chris _ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
Re: how does xwin resolve ip addresses
Hi, At 3Com's behest I tried the card in another laptop that had another installation of the card: Yes the card works in another laptop, an xp home one on the same network. Also the ipconfig works on this machine as well. It looks therefore like a driver problem, either a bad installation on my part or some conflicting software. I will do the following : 1) re-install the software 2) check dll dependencies and versions between the two machines I'll reply with the results. , and I'll do the same here. Ago, I'll try these changes first because it looks much like a bad software installation and nothing to do with cygwin. Unless you'd like to try and get it working with this installation first, in which case I'll delay the changes.

Re: how does xwin resolve ip addresses
Bad luck. It seems the ip address is correctly setup, but there is no interface configured. Maybe reinstalling the drivers for the wireless card will help. I've searched the MSDN but there is no comment for the GetIfTable function that it would not report wireless interfaces. I'be build a new version, which queries the interface for each ip address.

Re: how does xwin resolve ip addresses
Chris, XWin.exe doesn't directly get the list of available IP interfaces. Rather, it has cygwin1.dll provide it with that list. There have been problems before with Token Ring cards not showing up in the list of adapters, as well as other little sublities that have been worked out over the past year or so. That your wireless card is not listed in ``ipconfig /all'' suggests to me that there is no chance that cygwin1.dll would see that interface. Alexander Gottwald usually hacks this sort of stuff for us, so hopefully he will see your message and get an idea. I hope that this gets addressed (no pun intended :) if it is an issue common to all wireless cards, because I have really been thinking about setting up some wireless in my apartment. Have you tried the latest drivers/extra software from 3COM? I would not be surprised if a more recent version of the drivers does not have this problem.

Re: how does xwin resolve ip addresses
Hi Harold, I seem to have the latest drivers, I checked a couple of weeks ago, no harm in doing so on a regular basis. It just strikes me as weird that although I can telnet into a box over it I can't start a server on it. Add that to ipconfig /all and it makes it very confusing. I'll send a query to 3com. cheers, Chris _ Surf the Web without missing calls! Get MSN Broadband. http://resourcecenter.msn.com/access/plans/freeactivation.asp
