I have build a small test program, which extracts the network interface adapters from the system. Please try it and mail the result. It will help me figuring out the problems. http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~goal/xfree/ls_netdev.tar.gz (http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~goal/index.php3?jump=xfree#ls_netdev) > When trying to use cygwin/xfree on the address (given by dhcp) the xserver > doesn't work i.e. no clients can bind to it.

I don't know which API ipconfig is using but I think it's the same interface as the cygwin.dll uses. If it's not listed it might have various reasons: - ipconfig does not know what a wireless lan is and does not display it - MS has build a new API for listing wireless lan interfaces - Something is really broken - and many more The output of ls_netdev will hopefully give me more hints. bye ago NP: grauzone.02-09-23 -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723
