using latest road runner with mc2.0 skin. card in .ini settings says

[SETTINGS]
adapter=D-Link DWA-140 RangeBooster N USB Adapter
dev=USB\VID_07D1&PID_3C09\6&57F755&0&1

thank you

Greets,
Having trouble with the wireless skin.

Specs:
WinXP Tablet Edition
RR Version: 2007/12/13
DFX3 Skin

wifi_man.ini:
[SETTINGS]
adapter=Hawking HWC54GR Hi-Speed Wireless-G CardBus Card #2
pause=600
dev=
AutoDetect=true

Stock DFX3 ExecTBL.ini "Button" and "Wireless Network Info by Elcamino" settings

Stock Wireless.skin

Here is some screencaps of my issue.
You will see that the wifi information screen is not resizable
Takes too long to load and kicks out to menu a couple of times before sometimes loading into clipped area
Also there is no info updated for the skin
I can enable and disable the connection
Any ideas?

As a side note, I have been into this about two weeks and have found everything very easy to figure out and setup, going as far as setting 3 menu screens, embedding my not yet finished OBD app, and changing things to my liking. You just have to read, read, read....I have just ordered a Visteon HD Zoom HDZ300 Radio and the Cable from mitchj.
Absolutely Awesome RR Front End And DFX3 skin setup. I don't know of guino, but I do know of JohnWPB from the HomeSeer forum. Hats off to you guys and the rest for a sick package.

if you are using DFX3.0 i'm afraid i cant help much, johnWPB made some changes to the scripts to suite his skin better, and i dont have the source to see what was changed from mine, my advice is to ask john. sorry man.

In checking the debug.txt for road runner i dont see any command sending me back but it happens every time i use the "WIRELESS" command to open the skin. if i simply do load;wireless.skin manually it doesnt do it. Any idea on what this might be?

EDIT.. nevermind.. it was because i didnt have the error pop up in my skin file... but i dont understand why there is an error if the labels are populating as they should.

I am trying to get this working in my skin and am getting the same results as Sonicxtacy. The labels are populated fine but I get this "WIFI NOT CONFIGURED" pop up and the wireless.exe isn't putting the available networks up.

If I then manually open the available networks via explorer, it posts it where the A, command specifies but the whole window, not just the available networks. All the buttons seem to be working fine and all the lables. It is just posting this popup instead of the available connections window.

Any ideas what it might be. I have checked all my skin and Exectbl.ini commands numerous times and they seem to be fine.

Thanks in advance

Anthony

Don't worry, it was my wireless network connection window name. For others having some problems, make sure that your window name (see highlighted icon on the second image in post 63 above) is "Wireless Network Connection"

All works perfectly now, thanks muchly El Camino

Nice Work

Hi, I would like to embed the "Wireless Connection Manager" window into my skin, but (after an intense search...) I can not find the windows executable that launch this program.

I think that this autoit script open the "Wireless Connection Manager" calling it executable, so, can anyone tell me:

Whats the cmd command to open the "Wireless Connection Manager"??

Thanks!

these are the cmd's in the exetbl top 1in Red launches the skin and sets the script running, the others are different button to use in the skin


"WIRELESS","LOAD;wireless.skin;WIFI;;WiFi Information||SETTOPMOST;RR;TRUE||RUN;$RRPATH$Plug in's\Wireless\Wireless.exe||SETTOPMOST;RR;FALSE||A CTIVATE;WiFi Information"

check out MKIII /DFX /Polaris skin's as i know they have it in there running

The problem is that I use a spanish windows so this plugin does not works. I think that the problem is that my "Wireless Connection Manager" name is: "Conexiones de red inalámbricas".

I would like to know the windows .exe that launch this window (I think that must exists one, like taskmgr.exe launch the task manager...)
