Hello.

Installation of TAP-Win32 does not work the automatic selection of a network interface.
(The network connected before looknstop starts is recognized, However, it is NG when it connects after starting.) .

Since such a problem has not occurred in other virtual network interface drivers, it thinks that a problem is in the TAP-Win32 side, it is a cause known? What kind of measure is possible? .

TAP-Win32 has installed V8 and uses it by coLinux and PearPC.

Thank you.

Nobody replies, so I can ask the dumb questions:

agreo: What is "TAP-Win32"

Thanks :)

TAP-Win32 is the virtual network driver contained in OpenVPN.
http://openvpn.net/

A virtual network can be built in PC and bridge with PC emulator and a physical network interface can be performed easily.
Since arbitrary subnets can be made, it is easy to perform restriction of the communication range etc.

Thank you.

Ah I see! Thanks a lot for the information.

But still no idea about your question. Maybe Frederic has an answer for you. Have you tried asking him via E-Mail to
looknstop_AT_soft4ever.com ??

Hi,

From your 1st post, I'm not sure to understand what is not working.

Is it only the automatic selection that is not working ?
In manual selection mode everything is Ok ?

Thanks,

Frederic

Thank you for Thomas and the advice.

To Frederic
Sorry to be poor at explanation.
Only automatic selection does not work.
Manual selection works perfect.

Thank you.

Ok, in this case perhaps it's only a matter of IP address recognition.
Be sure the "IP to exclude" list in correctly setup in the advanced options.

In this list:
- IP of adapters not to be selected should be mentioned
- the IP of a selectable adapter should not be present
(IP or sub-network IPs work also, like 10 for 10.x.y.z).

Although it did, it was the same.

Sorry, manual selection was not perfect.
Only when that manual selection works chooses after the network state changed.
For example, even if it dialup in the state where WAN is chosen, IP address of a welcome screen is with 0.0.0.0.
And when WAN is chosen by the manual and Look'n'stop recognizes IP of WAN, even if it stops dialup, IP display of a welcome screen does not change.

Just as it disables TAP-Win32 by a device manager, it comes to work normally all.
And just as it enables TAP-Win32 by a device manager, will be reported.
And although VMware is installed in my PC and the virtual network driver of VMware is running, there is no such problem.

Thank you.

I'm not sure to understand exactly how it should work with TAP-Win32.
Could you open the console and look at the events when the network interface is changing ? and report here what you see.
Also at the beginning ask for the drivers logs, so you will get the name of the network interfaces seen by the driver ? please copy paste the information here as well (just hide a part of IP & MAC address).

Thanks,

Frederic
