Problem
I
still have a problem.
I
came home and checked the original manual that came with AP and config
utils. Both were the old versions. I downloaded the latest config utils and
the latest firmware and upgraded it. Everything went
O.K.
Now I wanted to start SNMP util. Ooops! Now asks for some
password....Manual says that default one is "public", but doesn't
work.
Back to USB util, change password into something
known.
Now back to SNMP util.
Changed laptop IP into 192.168.1.251, AP is default
192.168.1.250.
Yellow link LED on AP is solid, ocasionaly blinking. Tried to ping
192.168.1.250, works O.K.
But SNMP util cannot find AP. When I click on Find Access Point, it
searches and finds it on 192.168.1.250. When I click on it, it asks for IP
Address and password and when I enter them, it starts
Connecting... and comes with "Access Point not
found".
But if I put wrong password it tells me that password is wrong,
which
means that it connects and checks the password.
Then I said, O.K. let's put both my laptop and AP into my subnet, so
I put laptop to obtain IP address from DHCP and AP as well. And, really,
when I click now on Find Access Point, it finds it on 192.168.0.50. Next
time on 192.168.0.166, whatever IP address DHCP assignes. And I can ping it
on those addresses. However, still, when I click to Connect to it with SNMP
util, it still cannot connect to it, still "Access Point not found"
message.
In
the meantime I tried swapping cables, sockets, connecting directly to
switch
etc, but no difference.
O.K. I thought, maybe SNMP util doesn't work for some reason, I
still
have USB one. I installed Orinocco card then. Followed instructions,
everything went smoothly.
Client manager shows me that it found AP and I'm on the network.
Went
through the flat, signal weakens, then back, it's full
again.
Now I tried to see the network and I cannot connect to anything,
pinged server, doesn't work.
Checked ipconfig /all and see that I have address completely out of
range 168.0... something. TCP/IP settings are set to use DHCP.
Therefore I put ipconfig /renew, but after a while, it comes with
"DHCP server not available"
But DHCP server works fine on fixed network.
So
what should I do now?
I
start thinking that something is really wrong with AP.
Does anyone have fixed network like me, using ICS and managed to
connect AP to it?
Cheers,
Nik

with AP, maybe
newer version.
I think it's for the latest
firmware (which I haven't yet downloaded), but I
prefer to have fixed
IP for things like server, my CM router, the AP etc.
I will be changing
the IP of the AP to match my conventions (the
aforementioned list of
devices all have IP's of 192.168.1.1 -
192.168.1.100).
That way, I
always know I can connect to 192.168.1.1 and know it's the main
server
etc, for if/when dns & stuff get screwed
up......
>Unfortunatelly, I'm using ICS, which uses it's own
DHCP server, which has
it's own scope
(192.168.0.2-192.168.0.254).
>It's all hardcoded, so I cannot change
the scope to include AP's default IP
address.
That's okay, just
put the AP on 192.168.0.255 or .1 then!
I would have to use proper
DHCP server, but Microsoft doesn't support them
running together on the
same LAN. (although, I know that it's working).
Ah, this is where a
router comes in! Or use WinProxy or similar to act
as
firewall/dhcp/ICS device.
Easy to set up & get going.
Cheap
too......
