Description
EVFSGUI from evfsgui-25beta-20120606-debug.zip.
I have an IBM ThinkPad T43 (1871-W8M). It has a wireless, and a wired NIC. When the wired NIC is attached to my router, at boot time, it gets an IP address (192.168.0.102). XWLAN then tries to connect the wireless NIC, which gets IP address 192.168.0.103. Since a system can only have one address in any given range, XWLAN changes the wireless NIC address to 169.254.<random number>.<random number>. Now, when EVFSGUI tries to manage LMHOSTS, it incorrectly picks the 169.254.<random number>.<random number> address, which doesn't work because it is a dead address. At other times, XWLAN leaves the "unused" NIC with address 0.0.0.0, which also doesn't work, but doesn't seem to be chosen by EVFSGUI.
Fixed in EVFSGUI 2.5 RC4 or better
