Wireless Intel Network Adapter

Post by FabioPD » Fri Oct 02, 2015 1:23 am

Hi,

thanks for this great VPN Software.

I'm having some trouble setting up a VPN Server for Remote Access to my home using a Laptop that is connected wirelessly to a Router.

I only see the Ethernet option inside the LAN ADAPTER box during the Local Bridge Setting process.

Is there a way to use the Intel WiFi Link 5100AGN that is inside my laptop?

Thanks.
Fabio

I think that I found the confirmation that one cannot use wireless connection for the server since the local bridge can't be established on a WiFi connection; see error message below:

No physical network adapters suitable for Local Bridge were found on
the VPN server computer.
In order to create a Local Bridge. you have to install at least one physical
network adapters on the computer.
You cannot use Wi-Fi adapters or 3G adapters for Local Bridge.
Please install a physical network adapter which is compatible to wired
Ethernet.
If a recently-inst alled network adapter doesn't appear, once reboot the
computer.
If the Local Bridge cannot be used anyway, you can use "SecureNAT
Function" instead.
If you have a certain reason to use unusual network adapters (i.e. Wi-Fi
adapters .. 3G adapters or virtual adapters).. set the "ShowAIIInterfaces"
variable on the "LocaiBridgelist" directive to "true" and rest art the VPN
Server. Then such devices will appear on the list. (For advanced
Windows users only.)
If this error occurs after you upgraded Windows, please re -inst all
SoftEther VPN Server or SoftEther VPN Bridge>
