My config is like this:
DSL -> firewall -> switch -> SMC2804WBR -> PC
Starting from factory settings, it works. Then I configure the SMC:
no broadcast ESSID
64 bit WEP
MAC address filtering
Still works fine. Then I started to play with different cables. After a
while, the PC lost the internet connection but is still connected to the SMC
(can see SMC's config web page). I have other PC connected to the switch
before the SMC, so I know my internet is working.
The status page of the SMC says DSL/WAN is not connected. I keep clicking
renew to no avail. Rebooting the SMC didn't help. If I bypass the SMC, the
PC connected to the switch can obtain IP just fine. Finally, I force the SMC
to use a static IP/gateway/DNS and it then works.
Has anyone seen this problem? I'm using 1.11a firmware.
