DHCP server enabled Starting IP address: 192.168.1.100 Max number of users: 50 I set G to 192.168.1.10 Okay, so it's not a DHCP range overlap, and you apparently have no other static IP devices which could possibly be using .10... With the G turned off, can you ping its address and get any response (telltale sign)? I couldn't get any response with it turned ON. However, with one - and only one - device powered on, you *should* get a response. If the G is OFF, and you were to get a response on that address, it indicates that something *else* is listening on it. That would, therefore, point to an address conflict when the G is turned ON. After ctrl C it said 50 sends, no response. Hmmm... Also, try flushing your arp cache before pinging: arp -f (OS/2; I can't recall Windows, but instead of "flush," the command "deletes all" - perhaps arp /d *) With which routers powered? Immaterial. The arp cache is local to the machine. It will get rebuilt dynamically, as soon as you start contacting other things (like sending pings and getting responses). I just want to make sure it's clean. No, SSID broadcast in the GS. That is on by default. Good. On the status page, you can see all connected devices. This thread is moving rapidly from OT to TOT. If connecting two OS/2 machines together wireless is off topic, what is on topic? Configuring LinkSys hardware is *not* on-topic for this list. What we're doing is only tangentially related to using OS/2 with wireless devices. We're talking about basic IP networking and/or problem determination of LinkSys hardware running third-party firmware. So, what we're finding is that after powering off the router for an extended period of time and then powering it back up, even wired into it, you cannot ping it? What if you keep the IP address which you have on your workstation, disconnect from the rest of the LAN and snap into *just* the G, with nothing else connected? Can you get a response from it, then? Perhaps it reverted to the 192.168.1.1 default IP. Try pinging that if .10 fails (again, only one workstation wired to the G and nothing else connected). When I asked earlier about what devices were listed, I was going under the assumption (yes, indeed, I know, I know...) that the device would actually come back online after being power cycled. That may not be the case. Perhaps, it's bricked for some reason. As I believe I mentioned at the very beginning of this discussion, I really stick to the GL devices because of the larger amount of RAM they have. I've had mixed results with the non-GL units after the v2 or v3 series. I had one client who routinely had to reset his v8 unit and then restore the backup I made for him. Annoying as h-ll... If this doesn't work, I may just send you a ball-pein hammer... ;-) -- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------
