I'm seeing a trend with blank/incorrect drop down in Instacheck and windows 8
But I sadly don't have access to a windows 8 computer at the moment.
I'm really not sure what causes it to misreport. I'm looking into it.

But I sadly don't have access to a windows 8 computer at the moment.

Ah maybe it doesn't like 8. Maybe I can try this on a laptop my bf has with windows 7 and see if that works that way.
Looks like it worked!
Can you please go into that adapater screen and disable your Local Area Connection. Then restart the computer. When the computer boots back up please do step #3 again then see if step #4 gives you the same error. I've seen a few people have issues starting the hotspot with a LAN on, and I had the same issue personally.
I know some Windows 8 users did get it working, so it's not impossible.
There are some discussions about it earlier in the thread I'm just looking for them :)
Step 6) Set-up and Connect on the 3DS
One thing to keep in mind while doing this, is you must have the Virtual network above your usual home wifi network on the connection list, or the 3DS will pick the wrong network. My home network is "SHAW-EE54BE" so I've placed PokeChecker above it.
If the test passes and connect to the Internet - Proceed to step # 7
If the test fails to connect to the access point - Verify the network is enabled in step # 6 then verify you entered in the right SSID / Password
If the test connects to the access point but not the Internet - This is usally caused by the scan being started early... so you weren't following my steps!! >:[ Just kidding! Try to connect again, if it fails twice please restart your computer and repeat steps # 4 (you may need to do #3 again if the hotspot gives you the error "The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation")
I keep getting stuck here... Sometimes the test goes through to the access point, sometimes it doesn't even get that far. I've noticed a small difference with our Network Connections, though... I noticed your Virtual Wifi is not connected to your computer, but mine is. Could this be the cause? If it is, how can I fix this? I didn't think disabling it would help at all.
Do you have the Killer network manager installed with the bandwidth control tool? That was causing a ton of problems for me.
Pokemon Breeder Sophie No idea? I think I'm gonna give up @_@
Hmm yeah I saw some people did it too. T__T Hmm I wonder what's so special about the two connections that I disabled that are dominating the instacheck and making it work as opposed to the connections I have actually enabled.
Hmm question, what is "bridge connections?" I noticed the wifi has the option for me to do that, yet nothing else does.
Aw geeze thanks for pointing that out. It should say connected if the hotspot is on. If you stop hotspot in instacheck it shows disconnected =/ I'll fix that and then answer your question so I don't confuse anyone else LOL
Page one now :)
After you update your drivers from that link, try restarting then doing this:
Then run through my steps again. If you arrive at the same error can you please send me a screen-shot of you 'ncpa.cpl' screen :)
Re-did all the steps. Still no luck.
You're pretty close to getting it online. Please try to restart the computer and then do step # 3 again. Open instachecker and launch the hotspot. Don't open the actual instachecker page with all the stats or start the scan. Delete the network configuration from your 3DS and try to connect again.
Are you using Windows 8?
Unfortunately, still no go. I tried the following:
~ Using "Your Uninstaller 7" to uninstall the program before reinstalling it. Nothing. (tried this a few hours ago)
~ Remove the packet.dll. Program still thinks it's installed when trying to re-install it, so progress as normal. Reboot. Try CMD in administrative mode, "netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow". Open up Instacheck. No go.
~ Remove the packet.dll. Uninstall WinPcap with its uninstall option. Reboot. Reinstall. Reboot. CMD, Instacheck, nothing.
~ Remove the packet.dll. Uninstall WinPcap. Disable antivirus. Install WinpCap. Reboot. CMD and Instacheck, nada.
~ Remove the packet.dll. Uninstall WinPcap. Download WinPCap 4.1 to try instead of 4.1.3. Install WinPCap 4.1. Reboot. CMD and instacheck, nothing.
The only thing I can think I have remotely different is the windows virtual miniport adapter is nowhere to be found. I've never seen it on this computer before.
I'm not too sure. If that might be the cause, how would I go about fixing that?
Glad to be useful, haha. I await your answer. :P
EDIT:
All right, I'll try that and let you know if it works.
Using Windows 7.
Sophie Idisabled my Ethernet cable so I was only connected through WiFi I restarted my laptop dis step 2 then 3 and yet again, the method or operation is not implemented. Came up again :S on my network screen I can see my virtual network which I called pokecheck I can also find it on my ds but as soon as I press start hotspot the error comes. Thank you for helping btw :) much appreciated
Hi guys!
I just downloaded Instacheck, but I can't make it work. I downloaded and installed WinPCap, then I tried to open InstaCheckHotspot.exe, but it instantly crashed.
Here's the message I get when it crashs (sorry for the french) :
VirtualRouteurPlus stopped fonctionning
Would you have any idea on what I'm supposed to do? I use Windows 7, by the way.
Thanks a lot guys! c:

The fact that you've never seen the virtual adapter makes me think there is an issue with that program. Although you've definitely went above and beyond on trying to reinstall wincap. But you all need to have .Net framework - have you verified that's on the correct version as well?
I'm kinda at a loss here... I'm not sure how comfortable you are with doing this, but you may want to try removing and reinstalling the NIC card driver. That's honestly my only other thought on getting the virtual network to start working.
If you have the setup.exe for the latest driver, you can rerun the setup and select modify. Then remove/deselect the network manager and bandwidth control.
Yeah, I'm using 4.5 .Net framework, and have successfully used the latest version of RNG reporter a few times. I'm currently "repairing" the .net framework, as I'm getting rather desperate for this to work. ((I have two 3DS, so I don't need to bother someone to IV check everything for me.)) I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling the NIC card driver next. I know windows found automatically the "latest" version for me. My wifi card is a Linksys Wireless-G PCI Adapter (Model Number WMP54G-RM). Rather than letting Windows handle it this time, I rather grab the driver off their website. However, I'm not quite sure which hardware version I should download. Could you point in the proper direction?
Sorry if I quote myself, but can i get a response to my question? Thank you :)
Have you tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the latest driver for your card?
edit: I see that you are attempting this now.
