Hi,
First of all thanks a lot for this amazing tool. We have used it at Simumatik and works pretty well! Anyway, we have seen that in some computers all network adapters are not shown in the list, specially the Wi-Fi adapters, and it seems to be an old problem (other questions in the forum). Is there any solution to that or is it planed to be solved?
Thanks in advance!

  Hi Mikel,
  
  yes there was an issue with not showing WLAN adapters, which I hoped was solved. I have to say, because I rarely use WLAN on my programming device, I don't notice if there is something missing. Can you say something about operating system and WLAN adapters you are using? It seems that not all adapters have this problem.
  
  At least you can enter the IP address of the WLAN adapter manually, and it should work even it's not shown in the list, to bypass the problem.
  
  I'll make some tests on my programming laptop if I have a device where I can reproduce the problem.

Thanks for your quick replay Thomas.
I heard about this issue from a customer, but today I could see it in first person in a workshop. Then I tried to reproduce it and I had the same problem with my laptop:

Name [00000001] Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 Wireless Network Adapter
Adapter Type Ethernet 802.3
Product Type Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 Wireless Network Adapter
Installed Yes

We are aware of the solution, adding the IP manually, but we hope you can figure out a solution.
Thanks again!

I just checked the code history, and I've seen that the fix isn't in the latest version release of 1.2.4.

I've created a preview with the latest code. If the adapter is still not shown in the listbox, there is a check box to display all adapters without filtering (but then maybe not real ethernet adapters are shown).

If you want to test if it works for you, you can download the build from here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/nettoplcsim/files/misc/

If it fixes the problem, I'll create an new official release.
