i think i just fixed the problem. i had the Basic rates and TX rates set to the highest speed, though i dont think my wireless cards support 22Mbps. setting them to 1-2-5.5-11 seems to have fixed my problems for now. i can now get multicast and ipv6 over my wireless and my connectivity issues have ceased. ill report back in a couple of days to let you know if my problems were permanently solved. -b > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "brad dreisbach" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Friday, March 21, 2003 7:54 AM > Subject: [BAWUG] wap11/dlink problem > > > > i installed the dlink firmware on my linksys wap11 v2.2. > > ever since i have been having major problems. i am having > > problems reaching wireless devices from my wired network. > > im seeing packetloss sometimes, complete lack of connectivity > > other times, duplicate packets. now...on the wireless side... > > i cant even communicate at all between wireless devices. > > i did manage to be able to do so pings across the wireless > > when i turned the ethernet card of the source machine into > > promiscuous mode(running tcpdump). has anyone else seen > > this problem? ive also not been able to use ipv6 or multicast > > over the wireless. is there an easy way to revert back to > > the linksys firmware? i dont have another linksys or any of the > > linksys images. > > > > -b > > > > -- > > general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> > > [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless > > -- > general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> > [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
