[vpn-help] Shrew Client and routing through AVM Fritz Router7270

[C.Hoffmann at ProSeS.de]

Hi Rainer,

The Virtual Wifi Miniport is used to have connection to more than one WLAN simultanously. It should only appear (together with a corresponding Virtual Wifi Adapter)  after it is enabled manually via netsh (netsh wlan set hostednetwork allow). To config multipe WLANs, you then need to add them with netsh wlan set hostednetwork allow ssid=… key=… keyUsage=persistent.

Regards,
Clemens Hoffmann

Dear all,

thank you all for your replies. My colleague has a network adapter which called “Microsoft Virtual Wifi Miniport Adapter”. I deactivated the adapter and everything works without any problems. For this reason this problem is solved for me.

This might be a little bit OT: I was very surprised about this “new” adapter and I searched for information about it in the internet. But I don’t found the information when the adapter will be installed by Microsoft automatically. Does anybody know when the adapter will be installed (maybe if the notebook was connected to several wifi networks)?

Kind regards

Rainer Budde

>From prior reactions from the list I may be the only one with this symptom and solution but you may want to try it.   I found that in Windows 7 there is an automatically created “Microsoft virtual Wifi Miniport Adapter”.  This is a new “feature” in W7 and is not necessary to use Wifi.

I had similar symptoms to the above, plus DNS resolution failures (when not connected), and disabling the above adapter fixed them 100%.

Note you cannot just delete the device – it is recreated every time you enable the physical wifi adapter.  But if you disable it, it remembers and says disabled.

You might give it a try.  I have no explanation to offer for it, just that it worked for me.

PS. In my case everything worked fine with it not disabled for weeks, then all of a sudden it quit working entirely and only started again when I disabled the adapter, despite reboots, de-and-re-install of the software, different versions, etc.
