The list of Aps does not show anything

[rickhunter_sv]

Hello, thaks for let me ask.

I have installed the program, and when I open it and click the "Scan APs" button, nothing happens in the list, is empty, blank, no matter the time I wait.

I have Windows Vista 32bits in spanish- The Vistumbler is in spanish too. When I go to Settingd-->Languages-->Search words-->Guess Netsh Searchwords I get this error window: "Vistlumber was unable to guess searchwords"


How I should to configure it in order to get the list of APs an MAC adrresses?

Thank you for your support

Did you check to make sure the proper interface is selected in the interfaces menu?

Yes, I did, and have tried with all the interfaces listed there (just in case....jijiji)

Thank you for your time.

hmm. maybe check to see if you get any results with the netsh command?

try running "netsh wlan show networks mode=bssid" from command prompt (when you know there are APs around)

you should see something like this (but in spanish)

C:\Users\ACalcutt>netsh wlan show networks mode=bssid

Interface name : Wireless Network Connection

And if you do get results and want to post the output so i can see whats going on, run this command
"netsh wlan show networks mode=bssid > c:\netsh_out.txt"
and post c:\netsh_out.txt

I´m sorry, but I have replaced (edited) some x´s in the MAC Addresses and network names for obvious reazons.

How about if you do that command and specify your wireless card
netsh wlan show networks mode=bssid interface="<your network card name>"
for me this would be

netsh wlan show networks mode=bssid interface="Wireless Network Connection"

if this command gives you an output like the one you had above then netsh is working properly, and it it something else. From what I see this should work with the spanish language pack.


The only other thing i can think of is something is stopping vistumbler from creating its netsh temp file (which it uses to pull the data from). Maybe something like antivirus(check you logs for any blocks)?

For any reazon that command did not work

But you can see the interface options in the attached image. There is selected the "MAC bridge miniport" But when I select the IPW 3945ABG I have just the same problem.

Thank you!

[ACalcutt]

well it looks like for you that command would be

netsh wlan show networks mode=bssid interface="Puente de red"


did you have a chance to look into you antivirus software (if you have any)
