Network Bridge using Wireless Adapter Windows 7 - adapter

It's normal that netsh bridge show adapter doesn't give me any results? I am using my wireless adapter of personal laptop. Maybe its normal, its because my adapter don't allow promiscuous mode?
How can I check if my wireless interface allows promiscuous mode?
Thanks ;)

With netsh bridge show adapter you can show only already bridged adapters not bridgeable adapters. Current Microsoft Windows Operating Systems (Windows 7, Windows 8) only allow creating bridge adapter and adding adapters to bridge in GUI mode.
The command netsh bridge install for example is not supported. There is even no netsh bridge add or netsh bridge remove command at all.
If you want a command line based tool take a look at Network Bridging Utility

http://www.intel.com/support/network/sb/CS-004185.htm
Yes, all currently marketed Intel® PRO/100, Intel® PRO/1000, Intel® Gigabit, Intel® PRO/10 Gigabit, and Intel® 10 Gigabit adapters support Promiscuous mode. A network management agent or other software (such as "Network sniffer") is required to tell the OS to turn on the promiscuous mode support. Users cannot enable or disable the support.

lack of communication between hyper-v and physical machine

I would like to set up SMS notifications for the infrastructure auditing application. the application server stands on hyper-v. huawei modem is in a physical machine because hyper-v is not possible to connect usb. on this machine I set something like netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenaddress=server address listenport=10080 connectaddress=192.168.8.1 connectport=80.
for some reason, port 10080 does not open, there is no communication between hyper-v and the machine with the modem. manual opening of the port on the firewall does not work. through cmd does not work. modem works correctly because when it is installed locally - notifications work. does anyone know where the problem may lie? how to communicate machines?

How to connect openWrt (Virtualbox) to wifi?

I'm new user of openWRT I using a internet wifi in Ubuntu 16.04, I installed openWRT in VirtualBox, I tried to connect to internet but I failed, when I try to ping google.com I get this message **bad address google.com **
Just went through the same issue this morning. You have a good documentation in OpenWrt wiki for configuring your OpenWrt network when running over VirtualBox. The information below is all taken from the wiki, but I can assure that is working for a Barrier Breaker running on top of Ubuntu 16.04. The process is as follows:
With your VM off, open the VirtualBox Network tab and make the following configurations:
Configure Adapter 1 to use NAT
Configure Adapter 2 to use Bridge Adapter + Select your host machine's interface from the menu (the one that appears by using
commands as iwconfig or ifconfig). + disable promiscuous
mode
These configurations refer to the following screens (my wireless interface has the name wlx0022.., yours may be different):
Power on your VM and edit /etc/config/network. Change the two interfaces that the wiki mentions (wan and lan) and put them as it is shown below. Your interfaces may have different names before the change (in my case, the wan interface was wan6).
Your /etc/config/network file should look like this:
config 'interface' 'wan'
option 'proto' 'dhcp'
option 'ifname' 'eth0'
config 'interface' 'lan'
#option type 'bridge'
option ifname 'eth1'
#option ip6assign '60'
Just do the changes you need to in order to have your /etc/config/network file as it is shown above, but leaving the other interfaces in the file unchanged (as they are).
Then reboot OpenWrt. After that I was able to connect and ping to any site.
First,change your network connection in VirtualBox to Bridge Mode
Settings --> Network --> Adapter 1 --> Attached to --> Bridged Adapter
Second,modify /etc/config/network in OpenWRT
config interface lan
option ifname eth0
option type bridge
option proto dhcp
Restart your network by this command :
/etc/init.d/network restart
Note: make sure your host (Ubuntu 16.04) is connected to DHCP server.Then your OpenWRT-VirtualBox should get the IP address from it.
If you want to connect WiFi manually by editing file,
you need to edit mainly 3 files.
/etc/config/network
/etc/config/wireless
/etc/config/firewall
--> I would suggest adding the following portion in your network config file(/etc/config/network).
(make sure you do not have any assigned section for the wifi in the network config file)
config interface 'wifi'
option proto 'dhcp'
--> Also, you need to update the file (/etc/config/wireless)
config wifi-iface 'station1'
option device 'radio0'
option ifname 'wlan0'
option mode 'sta'
option network 'wifi'
option disabled '0'
option ssid 'name_of_the_wifi'
option key 'password_of_the_wifi'
option encryption 'encryption_of_wifi_generally_psk2'
in above setup option network 'wifi' "wifi" will be the name of the interface you defines in the /etc/config/network.[make sure if you have above section you edit the existing one. Do not add new section if you do not know what you are doing]
Here, replace "wlan0" with your wireless interface.
If you already have above section in wireless file,
you can also use uci commands as following,
uci set wireless.station1.ssid=name_of_wifi
uci set wireless.station1.key=password
uci set wireless.station1.encryption=psk2
uci commit wireless
wifi down; wifi
here, "station1" would be the name of the section.
--> In the /etc/config/firewall, find the option zone section where all the interface is defined, which looks like following
config zone
option name wan
list network 'wan'
list network 'wan6'
option input REJECT
option output ACCEPT
option forward REJECT
option masq 0
option mtu_fix 1
option conntrack 1
and add
list network 'wwan'
Command to check Wifi Connectivity: iwconfig
Refer the following link:
https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/uci/wireless
NOTE: PLEASE READ FROM OPENWRT FORUM OR GOOGLE BEFORE DOING ANYTHING
The Wrong configuration may break the OpenWRT connection

Is it possible to scan while running hostapd?

I am using hostapd to create an adhoc WPA secured wifi network, everything is working fine. From another machine I can connect with no issues.
However when hostapd is running the command:
iwlist wlan0 scan
returns:
wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Operation not supported
If I kill the hostapd process and bring up the wlan0 interface then scan works correctly and returns the ssids of nearby networks.
I want to be able to scan while hostapd is running. How to do this?
This capability depends on your wireless chipset. Some support this and others do not.

I disabled and re-enabled it many times. Still no clue whats goin wrong I always get the error saying
"C:\Windows\system32>netsh wlan start hostednetwork
The hosted network couldn't be started.
A device attached to the system is not functioning."
The commands before that are running perfectly. The virtual adapter and everything is also enabled.
netsh wlan show hostednetwork
C:\Windows\system32> netsh wlan show hostednetwork
Hosted network settings
Mode : Allowed
SSID name : "Lathiyas"
Max number of clients : 100
Authentication : WPA2-Personal
Cipher : CCMP
Hosted network status
Status : Not started
Then tried stopping the hostednetwork and tried again still the same error. I think there is some problem with the drivers. Dell N5010 Windows 7-32bit system. Please help.
First of all go to the device manager now go to View>>select Show hidden devices....Then go to network adapters and find out Microsoft Hosted network Virual Adapter ....Press right click and enable the option....
Then go to command prompt with administrative privileges and enter the following commands:
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
Your Hostednetwork will work without any problems.
At first simply uninstall wifi drivers and softwares
just keep wifi drivers
+
from device manager....network adapters...remove all virtual connections
then
Press the Windows + R key combination to bring up a run box, type ncpa.cpl and hit enter.
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=”How-To Geek” key=”Pa$$w0rd”
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
netsh wlan show hostednetwork
its working for me and on others PC.
Same issue.
I solved the problem first activating (right click mouse and select activate) from control panel (network connections) and later changing to set mode to allow (by netsh command), to finally starting the hostednetwork with other netsh command, that is:
1.- Activate (Network Connections) by right click
2.- netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow
3.- netsh wlan start hosted network
Good luck mate !!!
If none of the above solution worked for you, locate the Wifi adapter from "Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections", right click on it, and select "Diagnose", then follow the given instructions on the screen. It worked for me.
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=dhiraj key=7870049877
If you have a wifi button or switch on your laptop make sure it is turned on! Then use the netsh commands that other people have stated
This was a real issue for me, and quite a sneaky problem to try and remedy...
The problem I had was that a module that was installed on my WiFi adapter was conflicting with the Microsoft Virtual Adapter (or whatever it's actually called).
To fix it:
Hold the Windows Key + Push R
Type: ncpa.cpl in to the box, and hit OK.
Identify the network adapter you want to use for the hostednetwork, right-click it, and select Properties.
You'll see a big box in the middle of the properties window, under the heading The connection uses the following items:. Look down the list for anything that seems out of the ordinary, and uncheck it. Hit OK.
Try running the netsh wlan start hostednetwork command again.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 as necessary.
In my case my adapter was running a module called SoftEther Lightweight Network Protocol, which I believe is used to help connect to VPN Gate VPN servers via the SoftEther software.
If literally nothing else works, then I'd suspect something similar to the problem I encountered, namely that a module on your network adapter is interfering with the hostednetwork aspect of your driver.

server 2012 using wireless for off grid network

This question is similar to Access IIS on Windows server 2012 through wireless directly without router we tried some of the windows 8 applets to set up a shared connection but none are successful on windows server 2012.
On the 2012 server we are from command line running
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=haxxy key=txectxec keyUsage=persistent
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
The above completes successfully and we can try to connect.
But a computer connecting is not getting assigned an ip address.. how can i get the wifi to have an ip or to offer the servers dhcp?
If i do ipconfig non the server the wireless has been assigned 192.168.173.1 - but im unsure what provided that ip address.
If i go to the server's dhcp under server bindings the 192.168.173.1 ip address is not available from there.
The http://www.connectify.me free verson worked and was nice so we bought paid version. The scripts at Dror Gluska (2012) - http://uhurumkate.blogspot.co.il/ got me close.
