Bruno,

If this is possible (I'm not that familar with this section of the api),
then you will have to make the call to the API through the P/Invoke layer,
or through COM interop, as this functionality is not exposed through .NET.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Most of the time the access point is an independend device in the network,
it's this access point the one who store all the configuration of the
wireless network and your desktop is just a client, maybe, and this is a BIG
maybe you can change the access point configuration remotely using something
like nntp, you have to check the docs of your access point.

Is this what you want?

cheers,

I'm not clear on why you need to do this from code, but yes, you can change
the SSID using the System.Manageme nt classes and WMI.
For this, you'll have to connect to the "root\wmi" namespace and change the
attribute "Ndis80211S sId[]" on the WMI class
"MSNdis_80211_S erviceSetIdenti fier".

Willy.

Hi there, I've recently developed a VBA-program in Excel that fetches and presents data from a distant Access database over a wireless peer-to-peer network (both computers running Win XP Pro). It has worked relatively well for some time, but recently I'm often encountering errors when trying to fetch the data. I am pretty sure that this is because of a poor wireless connection since I'm also having some problems e.g. copying files...

Hello, I am working on an Acc2003 app for my company. In the interest of reducing chances of corruption due to unstable network connectivity, I would like to either prevent users from running it through a wireless connection, or limit their use to read-only. I have absolutely no idea if this is possible, and if so, how. Is there any way from within Access to get the list of routers they are connecting through? Ideally, I'd like to keep...

None of the code segments I've seen on this will execute, they all give me an "invalid class" runtime error, either at the MoveNext() or the foreach. Do I need to somehow tell WMI which adapter to try to get the SSID list from? I've only got one wireless adapter. This way gives me an unhandled exception when it tries to do the GetInstance()

Hello, I'm want to get the SSID of the current wireless network. After some searching on the web, I've found a solution by querying the WMI, but it seems that its not working on Vista anymore. If I query "Select * From MSNdis_80211_ServiceSetIdentifier" on XP it returns the SSID of the connected network(s). If I use the same query on Vista, it returns an error "Not supported" with the return code 4200.

Hi, is there in Java any command or API for manage wireless connections? I want to create an application for auto-scan wireless networks and manage connection profiles (password, ip...). I'm using socket for communication between two hosts, but now I want to add a level for manage the wireless connection, to by-pass the windows XP wireless manage application. Where can I find references or examples? Thanks.
