1. Getting IP from a given network adapter name
2. Network adapter gets DHCP addr via wireless adapter
Hello I'm diagnosing a XP Home machine not showing up on other machines via file sharing. I notice that the DHCP router provides an address for the hardwired network adapter as well as the wireless adapter when connecting via the wireless adapter. Thus this machine has two entries in DHCP while using only one wireless adapter. When the machine first boots up, it will show up in workgroup computers on other machines, but then promptly disappears. Since I have had a lot of problems with this machine I think there may be a hardware issue. But the machine was zapped at least twice by infestations of adware, spyware, etc. So networking was zapped repeatedly by porn dialers. Will appreciate any suggestions.

4. getting two subnets on the same ethernet adapter
I have ethernet adapters that have twin MAC addresses: one for the regular use and the other for a Baseboard Management Controller (IPMI) that can be used to reboot hung machines etc. All my normal eth cards are assigned to a 10.0.x.x network by DHCP. So far so good. Now if I try to set the second IP address to something in the 10.0.x.x range then things work. Say 10.0.5.3. I can ping the same physical server (and the same physical card) on twin IP addresses from any remote machine. arp from the remote pinging machine shows: Address HWaddress Flags Mask Iface 10.0.0.3 00:26:B9:58:E6:46 C eth0 10.0.4.3 00:26:B9:58:E6:48 C eth0 10.0.0.3 is the normal ethernet IP assigned via DHCP and 10.0.4.3 is for the BMC. But let's say I wanted the BMC to respond on the 172.16.x.x subnet. I can set this address fine. Say, 172.16.0.3 But if I try to ping 172.16.0.3 then there is no response. Surprisingly, arp still shows both addresses but the remote ping does not work. Address HWaddress Flags Mask Iface 10.0.0.3 00:26:B9:58:E6:46 C eth0 172.16.0.3 00:26:B9:58:E6:48 C eth0 Do I have to do something else to make this work? How do I have two subnets on the same adapter? -- Rahul

6. Getting DHCP to see wireless adapter
Hi there, I have a very nice IBM wireless adapter that works fine and dandy in W2k and mostly does in OS/2. Launching WiFiState connects to my secure home wireless or open roaming gateways like it should but the DHCP monitors only seem to see LAN0 which is T23's internal 10/100 adapter and not LAN2 which is the wireless card which of course means that SeaMonkey or FF can't fine the connection... Tried using TCPIP settings (local) to move 'Use DHCP' from LAN0 to LAN2, save & reboot, no go DHCP still only shows LAN0 - check the TCPIP settings and they still say it should be using LAN2. Don't know if it matters but the internal LAN0 adapter is ran through the Innotek virtual Switch Protocol for VPC. Any ideas? TIA, Richard Budd
