athcfg11.dll is linked to missing export IPHLPAPI

[Nonnie Miss]

I'm having problems with my laptop.
Its a Dell laptop pentium II running Win98SE. The problem is with my wireless internet. I'm able to get online but I can't manage the software that came with the card. Its a D Link DWLG630.

I have searched all over and replaced this file with an updated file, that finally let me online but I'm still getting this freakin error.

I initially had to download a new copy of IPHLPAPI.dll and that allowed me online.

The computer hasn't been online prior to this so its virus/spyware/trojan free.
I only use Firefox with it now.

The laptop is also crashing on me sporadicly. I've done a lot of searching online and you guys are my last stop before seeking professional help.

Nope and based on my Google searches... D-Link is no help whatsoever

I got the card to finally work, but wound up just uninstalling the exe. Something I read (may have been d-link's site) sent me to boingo for the wi-fi management interface. Once I uninstalled the program, but left the files on the drive, I was able to arm wrestle W98 into accepting the drivers - which is where I was getting stuck. Then the card itself worked fine. Probably not much help to you, though - sorry!

Got it working.

I downloaded the file from here:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/279866/EN-US/

This won't install on windows 98 but will open with an unzipper such as winzip. I then copied iphlpapi.dll into c:\windows\system and bingo, it works.

FWIW, the file version is 4.90.3001.2

I'm willing to try anything. Boingo didn't work for me, I can't get online at all with it.
I'll try your fix and see what happens.

Fixed it !

For all those trying to get the DWL-G630 ( my card was rev C ) working with Windows 98 SE :

Download a new iphlpapi.dll from :

http://tech.wadsnet.net/download/dll/win98/

Click on iphlpapi.dll to download the file. I downloaded it to the root of my C drive ( C:\ )

I then "rebooted" win98 into DOS mode ( Restart in MS_DOS mode from the start button ).

Once in MS-DOS mode I did :

cd c:\windows\system
rename iphlpapi.dll _iphlpapi.dll
copy c:\iphlpapi.dll . <- Yes thats a space then a dot

type exit to quit DOS mode and windows will restart.

On restarting log in again, and hopefully this time round you won't get the error and you'll see the signal strength bars in the lower right task bar tray.

HTH

Note: Under windows if you look at the version of this iphlpapi.dll it says it's for windows 2000, but it does work on Win98SE. And in fact previous to this I HAD TRIED copying iphlpapi.dll from a windows 2000 system I have to my 98, but it wanted a whole load of dll's from a windows 2k system so I gave up on that.

Note 2: If it doesn't work for you go back into dos mode and copy the renamed file ( _iphlpapi.dll ) back to iphpapi.dll.

Pretty sure that fix has already been tried and shot down. I know I've replaced the file.

Richy You were right!!

I downloaded the file, extracted the dll using winzip to a temp folder. Then I had to restart my laptop in "safe mode" so I could delete the original file. I had already copied and backed it up elsewhere so if I did get in a bind I could re-assemble my original configuration. While still in "safe mode" I copied the new file into windows/system and voila! It worked perfectly. Thanks dude. It's great.
