I've got a network running SBS2008, with approximately 20 devices connected. The network is split, with about half of the devices behind a wireless bridge, but on the same subnet.
Everything is working fine, except for one device (An ethernet connected timeclock) which is behind the wireless bridge, that I cannot ping from any computer that is not behind the wireless bridge.
The network is DHCP, with a handful of devices, including the time clock, having reserved addresses. It is worth pointing out that even though the timeclock has a reserved address, it does not support DHCP, so I have the address programmed into the device. I kept the reservation though so another device is never assigned it's address.
A few days ago, I had to replace the wireless bridge because it kept dropping connections. Since then, none of the computers not behind the bridge have been able to ping or communicate in any way with the timeclock. Computers that are behind the bridge have no problems pinging the timeclock.
I'm not sure if the timeclock could be pinged before the bridge was replaced, it had been almost a week and a half since the last time we tried connecting to it.
This really sounds like an ARP issue to me. I have cleared the ARP tables on the server, and the computer that needs to connect to the timeclock, without success. I've looked for a way to clear the ARP tables in our router, but haven't found anytihng (Netgear FVS318v3). I've also replaced the switch that is behind the wireless bridge in hopes that it might reset the ARP tables somewhere, but nothing has helped.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Here's a basic network diagram... All computers physically attached to the router can ping all of the devices behind the bridge, except the timeclock. All computers behind the wireless bridge can ping all of the other devices on the network, including the timeclock.
