We ran into similar problems with this configuration. The WiSM wouldn't allow a DHCP broadcast to propagate through the controller, it HAD to relay the request somewhere. Bluesocket HAS to see a DHCP BROADCAST in order to build a client session, so the WiSM/Bluesocket configuration is a dicey one.
We wound up actually running DHCP on the Bluesocket box to fix the problem. It isn't ideal, but there weren't too many options. --Joe ________________________________ From: Dennis Xu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 13, 2007 10:55 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Problems with WISM Controller and BlueSocket I know there is a bug CSCsf32185 about WiSM DHCP relay when using external DHCP server. TAC engineer told me they cannot reproduce this problem in their lab, and only some WiSMs they sold out having this problem.

This all works fine but we need to have the wism controller be the dhcp relay. After shutting off dhcp relay on the blueSocket device the wireless client no longer can receive an IP address. I can sniff the packets, it shows that the controller is sending out a broadcast packet instead of the relay packet. The broadcast never makes it to the dhcp server because it's on a different subnet. Is there some option on the wism controller that I'm missing?
