RE: [smartBridges] Urgent DHCP Problem (through APPOs)

Yes, first APPo must be set to ethernet side and second APPo must be set to wireless side. The primary port always (as in ALWAYS wether you think you need it or not *info for others, not you Jason :-)*) points to the gateway leaving the subnet or network IE. to the internet,router,DHCP... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jason Sent: Saturday, June 21, 2003 1:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Urgent DHCP Problem (through APPOs) By the way, both APPOs are static IPs. Therefore, I don’t think the DHCP Ethernet/Wireless should matter – correct me if I am wrong. Is this setting only for the APPO DHCP retrieval, or does it affect pass-through?   If I am wrong, this would explain my problem, since DHCP would be coming from the other side of the wireless link.   No I am really turned around (head throbbing more now).   Jason   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Jason Sent: Saturday, June 21, 2003 1:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Urgent DHCP Problem (through APPOs)   More background… The reason a problem has developed is this:   I previously had a router with DHCP server between the DSL Modem and first APPO. I had the second APPO plugged into a LAN port on the D-Link, along with a Vonage ATA in another LAN port. Several computers connected to the D-Link wirelessly. The computers and ATA got DCHP info from the first router. The D-Link had DHCP disabled and nothing in the WAN port (it was acting as a switch rather than a gateway).   The router plugged into the DSL modem died (damn Linksys BEFSR41). So I plugged the first APPO directly into the DSL modem. I wanted to plug other APPO into the WAN port of the D-Link and turn on it’s DHCP server. But damned if the D-link can’t get WAN info from the DSL modem.   My head hurts (presumably from banging it on the desk).   Jason   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Jason Sent: Saturday, June 21, 2003 12:55 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [smartBridges] Urgent DHCP Problem (through APPOs) Importance: High   I am having a problem passing DHCP over a PtP link of APPOs. Here is what I have:   DSL Modem – APPO Wireless Bridge – APPO Wireless Bridge – DSL Router (Cheapo D-Link 714P) – Devices   The DSL router is not getting its WAN info from the DSL modem.   However… If I do:   DSL Modem – APPO Wireless Bridge – APPO Wireless Bridge – Vonage ATA or DSL Modem – APPO Wireless Bridge – APPO Wireless Bridge – Computer w/ Wireless ethernet adapter (on another channel from the APPO wireless bridge, of course)   … the ATA or computer is able to get a WAN address. The Vonage phone works or the computer can browse the Internet.   Furthermore, if I plug the remote APPO into a LAN port of the router, and the ATA into another LAN port, the ATA can get a WAN address and work fine.   I could plug the router directly into the DSL modem and see if it works, but that is not practical at this very second. Any ideas?   Jason Szumlanski
