HI all
Seen to be having problems getting the Netgear to bridge with Proxim.
Proxim AP-4000
Netgear wg602 v2 ( 3.2rc6 )
Using a second laptop, I can connect to the proxim with no problems
using a USB/wifi connection.
Netgear -> I am looking at the WG602 using a laptop connected via Cat5.
I have the Proxim MAC addy in the Remote MAC address boxes for
Wireless client association ( box is also checked ). The wireless
bridging portion of the menu says that I have the SSID of the Proxim
along with its MAC, Channel and Signal Strength.
At first, I assumed that this would bridge like a modem and get the
proper IP addy and stuff from the Proxim. No connection, no dhcp
messages from the dhcp server.
So then I setup the Netgear IP addy to one that is in the Proxim's
range, and a gateway addy for the proxim. The proxim does not show the
connection and there is no surfing from the netgear's connected laptop.
Proxim 192.168.101.253 ( 192.168.101.254 is its gateway )
Netgear 192.168.101.241 ( 192.168.101.254 is its gateway )
Laptop 192.168.101.10
I did try to set the Proxim as the netgear gateway with no luck.
no security, wide open stuff.
Just out of curosity, I fired up NetStumbler and both the netgear and
the proxim can be seen; although the Netgear is reported as an AP.
What button am I missing?
I will reset factory defaults just in case I had fat fingers, and try,
try again.
