Following up, as I see we sort of left this hanging... On 09/29/09 02:45 pm, Ray Davison thus wrote : Lewis G Rosenthal wrote: This refers to the firmware revision. You might want to back off one rev to 2.3 SP2. Some people have reported difficulties with 2.4 in this configuration. It is, and always has been, 2.3 SP2, mini and std. My response was specific to a quote you provided from the DD-WRT forums, wherein someone said, "Start with the peacock announcement....Could be a WAN issue, a build issue, a reset issue, or a wireless encryption issue..." The "Peacock" thread (not announcement) is here: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=51486 I think my statement missed a word in the first sentence, which should have read, "This refers to the latest firmware revision." I might have been over-generalizing, though, as that thread is quite good all around. AFAIK, 2.3 SP2 should work fine (at least standard; I don't recall whether I've ever done it under mini). If you are able to connect to your LAN but not get out to the internet, are you getting a valid default gateway pushed down to you? HUH??? DHCP should be *off* in the G and *on* in the GS. Off where? Okay, let's back up. Are you using DHCP or static IP addressing on your client machines? Otherwise, you're likely to end up with a mess. How about the G machine trying to access the GS router. And the GS machine actually accessing the G router. Does that qualify as a mess? If you have the IP addresses in the routers misconfigured, this can surely happen. At the moment I am back to security off, GS is eCS-RC5, G is WXP, and both have LAN and internet. Please give me some details as to IP addresses in each router, whether DHCP service is enabled on each one (should be *only* on the GS, unless you are getting DHCP from somewhere else or using static IP), and what your default gateway is on a connected client (should be the IP address of your GS). -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------- Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLP, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC www.2rosenthals.com Need a managed Wi-Fi hotspot? www.hautspot.com Secure, stable, operating system www.ecomstation.com -------------------------------------------------------------
