i doubt this feature will be blocked considering mac/linux have it. my now deceased laptop had support for this & it came out during the vista launch. xp had this thru a ms research project.

Hello,

as it seems even the lastest driver 13.0.0.107 do not support 4965AGN and Virtual Wifi. Does anybody know, if that is hardware related or if there is a chance that there will support in a future driver release.

Best regards

Thanks for writing about Connectify. We thought you may want to know that Connectify 1.0 is now available for free as the first production ready release. Some older wireless cards do not yet have full Windows 7 support, and for those devices Connectify will act as an Ad Hoc connection manager, instead of a full blown Wi-Fi Access Point.

Changes since Beta 4 include:

• Improved Notification tray icons (including a warning icon if the selected Internet connection is not currently working)

• Support for even more wireless cards and configurations

• Improved memory and CPU management

• Recover from sleep/hibernate

• Support for machines where multiple users install Connectify and log on at same time

• Ability to remove clients from the Client History list (right click to get menu)

• Auto-hiding of the Mode box. By default we hide the “Mode” box to choose between AP or Ad Hoc mode. If your wireless card supports both, then we default to Access Point mode. To keep the mode box visible, there is an option on the Option menu (right click on the Connectify logo to show the menu).

Thank you again for your support.

I cant enable my Microsoft Virtual WiFi Mainport Adapter. It says Disablet whatever I do. I tried ConnectiFy once and worked fine. Then day or two after It says it cant find the WiFi adapter. What might be the problem?

In your scenario after “netsh wlan start hostednetwork” I get:
The hosted network couldn’t be started.
The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested opera
tion.
