For those of us who are using IPCop, it looks like it is time that we either find a solution for this issue - it arose in our district again last week with two new laptops running Windows 7 - or find a replacement for IPCop that does not have this issue.

Now, if one of us comes up with a solution we need to agree so share........


Quoting Charlie Niehaus <cnieh...@altamont.k12.il.us>:

I have (soon had I hope) the same issue with Windows 7 and IPCop. Never did find a solution. There are tohers that did not see the issue with IPCop and Windows 7 - so I am assuming it is either a configuration issue with IPCop (Best Bet) or somthing with a switch along the way. i was lucky enough to solve it by giving the computer in question an external IP and trusting the user (My Superintendent) to not break any AUP rules. Not sure how that is going though.

Subject: [tech-geeks] Vista/7 not connecting to network


I'm hoping somebody on here has experienced this and has a solution to this very annoying problem. I have a couple of newly purchased windows 7 machines and a single vista machine that are trying to connect to get past my Router. DHCP hands out a valid IP and points to the right places but from there, the Default Gateway doesn't acknowledge that the machine exists. I can ping and access all internal servers but can not ping the Default Gateway. FYI, the Default Gateway is our CIPAFilter that has no problems with XP or OS X 10.6. Any comments or thoughts as to what might be occurring would be greatly appreciated.

As always, You stay Classy Internet.
Thanks,
