AC 4.12
API 10.5.0.0
WinXP Pro SP2
T60

Whenever I apply a tcp/ip setting different from windows for a profile, it simply doesn't work. AC says connection failed, while the connection has actually been established, but using windows settings.

Seems like windows has prevented AC from alternating the settings and insist on using its original settings.

Has anyone else met a problem like this?

BTW, I have already tried reinstalling the stuff which obviously didn't work for me.

And I notice that if the profile is automatically applied during a windows startup, the "Applying TCP/IP settings" step will stay longer on screen and it eventually will succeed in overriding windows settings. But after the startup period, AC will never be able to do that again, and the "Applying TCP/IP settings" step will only appear in a flash.

Seems like AC is doing something during windows startup, but is not capable of doing the same thing after that golden period.

BTW, I should point out that this problem only occurs with wireless network. The feature works fine with the wired one.

MOD EDIT: No double-posting, it is against forum rules. Secondly, Post in the correct forum for the topic.

I have the exact same problem. Also with my wirelesscard. It says connection failed when it needs to change the IP settings. Sometimes when I force AC to reconnection it does work. And it also works sometimes when I dis and enable the wireless card. Really annoying problem. I heard somewhere on the board that they're gonna bring out an update of AC, so we'll have to see.
