Hi Folks,
I've got a linux RH6.1 router that's worked fine for years. A few
months ago, I bought a wireless router for use with a laptop. I set
it for bridge mode and had the linux box play dhcpd. This worked fine too.
Recently, I got a laptop for home and ran into problems. Sparing a few
details, when either laptop were connected with wires it all worked
fine. With wireless, they'd make the DHCP request, the server would
offer a response, but they wouldn't ACK the response. I ended up putting
the wireless router back in router mode and had it serve the IP addresses.
What would cause this odd behavior. Its the Microsoft XX-500 basestation.
I did turn on MAC filtering. I didn't add the routers MAC assuming
the filters only apply to wireless and wired inputs. WEP is on for
all cases.
Thx, Chris
