Belkin have just sent me a new one of these to replace an old one with
dubious firmware. But I feel as though I've just jumped from frying pan
to fire.....
The problem I see is that the unit doesn't seem to have its own wlan mac
address - it appears to just copy one (maybe the first seen) from the
lan. The effect is that provided the box is connected by a wire, it can
be accessed; as soon as the wire is unplugged and the unit has connected
to the wap, it becomes largely inaccessible. The wap can see it's
connected and can ping it; other machines get no response to a ping,
presumably because the mac it's using belongs to someone else.
I'm hazy on wireless and mac's, but this behaviour seems wrong to me --
iirc the previous unit had its own fixed lan and wlan mac addresses, and
worked apart from a messed up http server.
It's also managed at one point to totally screw up the lan - I had to
reboot various machines earlier after manually trying fix up the arp
tables failed.
Is it significant that they've changed the name from 'bridge' to 'gaming
adapter'?
Ideas??? Fixes???
