WRT300N No Domain DHCP Over Wireless

Using a WRT300N as a wireless access point. Windows 2003 network connected to WRT300N's Ethernet port 1. There is nothing connected to the Internet port. Connected computer to Ethernet port 2. Computer also has built in wireless. Computer is getting a IP via DHCP through Ethernet port 2. Wireless connection on same computer cannot get an DHCP address. It is connecting to the router fine. Strong signal 48.0+ Mbps. Just limited or no connectivity message after timing out looking for IP thru DHCP.
I have tried this on two different WRT300Ns and get the same on both.
Any ideas?

Do you have the wired NIC enabled while you are trying to use the wireless NIC? If so, disable the wired NIC and then try the wireless NIC.

  • DHCP over wireless bridge

    I want to setup a wireless bridge going from a current network (siteA), to a new small network across the street (siteB). I have 2 Cisco 1131AG Access points. I have no need for any client access, only the bridge. I have the interfaces up and can ping across, however, no dhcp requests seem to come over the bridge. Where am I going wrong??

  • Transmit DHCP over wireless

    I have a 10.4 server setup on my mini. Currently it's not serving as a DHCP and my Airport Extreme is instead (this is so I can have wireless). Obviously this isn't very ideal. How can I have my server be the one to assign DHCP addresses yet still have a wireless network available with my airport extreme?
    I'm thinking I have to have my cable modem connect directly to my server, then through a USB ethernet dongle have my Airport extreme connected as some sort of a relay to broadcast wireless access. Any help/advice would be excellent.

    Are you running Mac OS X Server on your mini?
    If so, it's a breeze via Server Admin.
    If not, well, maybe you shouldn't post in the Server-specific forum because much of the advice here (e.g. 'Click the DHCP button in Server Admin') just doesn't apply.
    If you're running client you need to first configure two interfaces on your Mac. The link to your cable modem is clearly one. The second can be any interface, including wireless.
    The issue you're going to have is that the one-click Internet Sharing option is going to start up a whole load more stuff that you don't need - for example, it will turn your Mini into a base station, as well as a NAT gateway and DHCP server. Since you have a separate base station, that part is not needed.
    Off hand I'm thinking you might be better off with re-architecting the network so that the base station acts as the gateway to the rest of the world - plug the cable modem in the base station, then plug your mini into the base station. That way you'll have one unified network that both wired and wireless clients can share, without the overhead of the processing on the mini, the requirement for the mini to be up, and without the hassle of getting the mini to do something it's not designed for.
    I guess it comes down to the reasons why you want the Mini to be your DHCP server?

  • Internet sharing over wireless

    Didn't see anyone post this but is anyone else having problems with Internet Sharing over wireless?
    Trying to have the macbook connect to the iMac over wireless and use the iMac's wired internet connection. On the iMac, the Airport card is on, and in network preferences, internet sharing is turned on. However, the options for sharing over wireless is grayed out and I can't get into those options to customize it. On the macbook, it doesn't see it in the available networks list to connect.
    Am I missing something? Do I need to "create a network" on the imac now? I didn't have to do this in 10.4.10

    After much consternation and countless trials I finally have everything back up and working. Here is what I did finally to get it to work. (Note that I am not a network configuration expert - I am only reporting exactly how I have it configured and it works without complaint).
    1. I trashed my \Library\Preferences\System Preferences folder and restarted my Mac since I had updated from 10.4 and I wanted to start from a fresh set of preferences. ( I backed up that folder separately)
    2. I opened the Network Preference pane and configured my Ethernet connection (connected to my external AirPort Express which I am using as a wireless router to my other computers) as follows:
    -Configure: Using DHCP
    -IP Address: 192.168.0.197
    -Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    -Router: 192.168.0.1
    DNS Server: 192.168.0.1 (grayed out and so I am not sure what this means)
    I set these settings by clicking on the Advanced button.
    Under the TCP/IP tab I had chosen:
    - Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
    (This set the IPv4 Address, Subnet mask and Router)
    - Configure IPv6: Automatically
    3. On the Sharing Preference pane, I configured the following:
    -Share your connection from: Novatel Wireless EXPD (because I have a 3G wireless connection; otherwise I would have chosen the standard Internet connection)
    -To computers using: "Ethernet"
    And then I turned on the Internet Sharing Service and confirmed in the pop-up dialog that I wanted to share my Internet connection.
    4. Using Airport Utility, I configured the Airport Express by first clicking the Internet button to show the Internet Connection page and set the following:
    - Connect Using: Ethernet
    - Configure IPv4: Manually
    - IP Address: 192.168.0.179
    - Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    - Router Address: 192.168.0.1
    - DNS Server: 192.168.0.1
    - Ethernet Wan Port: Automatic (Default)
    - Connection Sharing: Off (Bridge)
    I also configured my Base Station and Wireless with names and Passwords.
    I then clicked Update in AirPort Utility and after it restarted everything magically worked!
    I think that the problem lay with my original IPv4 settings where I had chosen DHCP rather than Manually hoping that everything would automatically be set as it had worked previously. The clue was that on my MacBook Pro I noticed that the DHCP was not enabled when connected to the AirPort Express. Even my iPod Touch is now connected to the Internet!
    If anyone can explain all of this I would appreciate it.

  • PDASync over wireless LAN or WAN

    Hi,
    Is it possible to use PDASync over wireless LAN (using 802.11b
    card/attachment from Palm or Handspring device) or wireless WAN (CDPD or
    CDMA modem)?
    I know that currently it is used via the serial port on a Solaris
    workstation for sync ... but interested to do the same over a wireless
    network ..
    Any info will be helpful ...
    Thanks,
    Sailen
    [email protected]

    Thanks for the reply.
    I think that is the solution I was looking at. I think the WAN-LAN was 192.168.2.1, but I will be setting up a CAT5 from room to room between routers.
    Ok. I guess here lies my confusion from what I read, as well as my utter lack of knowledge plaing its part.
    If I disconnect the WRT600 from my desktop and hook up the WRT54G (with no other connections to the interenet), how do I set the IP without first resetting the webinterface logon from the WRT600 to the WRT54G. If I just logon as normal, it will be, and is, the WRT600 webinterface with all the WRT600 advanced settings. (I did use the same username for both routers. Could that be the issue?)
    Or is my thinking incorrect, which it might be, in that the webinterface login, currently set to the WRT600, and currently displaying all the settings for the WRT600, is supposed to change when I connect the WRT54G. It does not, when logging in as normal.
    This is where I think I read about resetting the router preferences to allow for the 'admin' logon to be reset to what would be the WRT54G preferences, which are different, but would allow for changing the DHCP and IP.
    Possibly my issue is How. How do I get back to the WRT54G webinterface to make these changes?
    If I go to 192.168.1.1, as stated already, it will be the WRT600 logon.
    Thanks

  • Netbooting over wireless

    I am having an issue trying to get my mid-2011 MacBook Airs to netboot over wireless. When I hold the option key I can see the wireless networks available. I enter the WPA2 key and it just shakes it off. This is on the latest EFI firmware for these laptops. When I use one that hasn't had it's firmware updated, I am able to connect to the wireless network, but the laptop does not get an IP address and therefor does not netboot. We are using an Aruba controller for our wireless access and I've had them turn the debug log on for a particular client and it does not even show up as being connected, so they can't check anything. We've tried both WPA2 protected networks and even completely wide open SSIDs and both yeild the same result. I set up a small home Belkin wireless router and that also produces the same result so I think it's more of an issue with the MacBook Air firmware than the wireless set up. A colleague of mine suggested that it might have something to do with DHCP options on the DHCP server which is a Windows 2008 box. Enabling DHCP on the Netboot server isn't really an option for us, but if it's the only way to get this working I might have to do it. From my research it sounds like others are able to do this without issue, so I'm kind of at a loss for what else to try. Anyone! TIA!

    I unfortunately cannot help with your situation, but it seems that you work in an educational environment as I do, and you might be able to help me. I've been running mac networks for a long time, with Xserves since they came out. I currently manage a wired/wireless network with an Xserve G5 as OD master. Up until last week, at any given time, the most clients we had accessing the server at once was about 60 wired computers and maybe 10-15 wireless and things ran beautifully. We just started using 60 new laptops and everything has gone to crap. After 6 months with ZERO server crashes/downtime, I've had 2 crashes in the last week. Even before the crashes, with about 100 clients accessing the network, everything was painfully slow. Portable home directories is not an option because we're not up to 1:1 yet. This is new territory for me. Can you give me an idea of the number of wired/wireless clients you manage? Any suggestions on what upgrades come first, like RAM? I have an Xserve G4 not being used. Any ideas on the best way to use it to help? Thanks for any help you can provide.

  • Image processing over wireless

    Hi,
    One of our subsidaries has a setup where continuous video stream is generated from certain application servers processing real time image processing.
    The setup goes this way; 3 PC's which run these image processing & are connected to a 3750G switch.
    This switch is uplinked to an access point which then carries all these over wireless to the image processing main server.
    About two weeks ago, when they tested this ,all 3 PC's had issues running together when operators viewed/worked upon the images on them.
    When either one or two of them is turned off, the rest works fine with no disturbance( intermediate stop & start of images ).
    Please help with suggestions on what could be the cause. I suspect bandwidth, but since this doesn't cover any WAN links, i doubt that bandwidth is actually the problem.
    Thanks in advance.

    It depends. QoS will help if your having congestion on the wired side. WMM QoS will help for over the air. I would look at the switch port and see if you see drops on both the map and rap side. You might just be over utilizing the backhaul. Remember that it is half duplex link so that can be an issue also. I had an install with regular AP's and 3gb video uploads within 30 minutes and the only way to achieve that is only allowing 4-5 clients per AP. the testing you have done seems to show that the max you can do over that link is 2. How much other traffic is using the wireless. Maybe try to isolate those traffic on a separate RAP/MAP pair using AP Groups.

  • Time Capsule Painfully slow internet over wireless (not so over ethernet)

    I dont know what it is, but when I use the TC over wireless, it is over 10 times slower than if I just stick an ethernet cable in my macbook. I get 50k/sec TOPS over wireless. I get 600-2MB/sec over the ethernet.
    Im seriously using an ethernet cable right now because I cant stand it.
    I have restarted the thing 50 times now. (modem too)
    I have an N capable macbook.
    I have time machine TURNED OFF
    I have tried all different frequencies.
    It is not just my macbook, but every wireless device on the system.
    I had an N basestation I replaced, it was super fast.
    My ethernet and airport settings are identical.
    I have tried. all settings of B,G,N 2.4 and 5ghz.
    I have tried interference robustness on and off.
    It is not the internet going to it, and it is not the environment it is in as It is sitting in the exact same place my N base station was in.
    I seriously hate this thing right now... And I am as big of an apple fan as they come.
    Please help me!

    I unplugged it again and plugged it back in again... and it seems to have worked.
    Why it didnt before, and how long this will last is anyones guess.
    I just wish it was as reliable as my previous N base station.

  • Randomly losing network connection over wireless

    Shortly after installing the 10.4.5 software update, my G4 iBook with built-in Airport Extreme card has been losing connection with increasing frequency. Built-in Ethernet use is unaffected. I'm calling this problem thrash-and-drop.
    1. When it's losing signal, processor activity goes through the roof. I had Activity Monitor running during a thrash-and-drop. kernel_task CPU consumption goes from under 1% before the event, to over 80% during the thrashing, and back under 1% after the thrashing stops. The activity is so bad the cursor can't be controlled: using the track pad sends the pointer all over the screen or nowhere at all.
    2. This has been observed to occur with two different wireless base stations: A Linksys WRT54G and an older SMC 802.11b router. Either router is within 10 feet of the computer. Only one is running at a time. There are no other base stations in range.
    3. Another iBook G4 (OS 10.3, Airport Extreme card (not built-in)), sitting next to it, shows no change and its wireless behavior is unaffected.
    Initially, this seemed more likely to happen when Safari was loading Flash-heavy pages. And after thrashing and dropping a connection, it was able to reconnect after either a reboot or a five minute sleep. Currently, it can't connect to a base station for more than a minute. Most recently, it thrashed and dropped while I was selecting the base station to use. This is true regardless of the application running. In fact, it will thrash-and-drop when there are no user applications running at all, after a fresh reboot.
    I've tried the following things to address the problem. None have affected the thrash-and-drop problem. Admittedly, most of this is random:
    1. Back up and delete network preferences in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    2. Turn off IPv6 in System Preferences/Network
    3. Back up and delete network preferences in ~/Library/Preferences (com.apple.NetInfoManager.plist and com.apple.NetworkUtility.plist)
    Has anybody else seen this problem? I want to blame it on the 10.4.5 upgrade but I haven't seen anybody else complaining about 10.4.5 doing this to them. If there's something I can do to fix this in a software setting, I'd much prefer that to yet another roadtrip to the Apple store.
    1.33 GHz G4 iBook   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Hi!
    I have the same problem of randomly losing network connection over wireless, though mine is hardly related to surfing.
    I have an external storage drive in which I use for backup of my stuff, and I access the drive via my modem, using the airport. Of late, I noticed that when copying files from my iBook to the external drive, the connection would suddenly drop before the transfer is completed. This began to occur with increasing frequency, particularly when transferring large files.
    I have since abandoned wireless connection, and reverted to my trusty cable. Still, I admit that I'm really curious about the cause of the apparent lack of reliability with my wireless connection. Has it something to do with the airport?

  • Color LaserJet 3600 and 10.6 over wireless (Broadcom Wireless Chipset)

    Checking the archives, I've found that I'm not the only person who has experienced problems printing to a Color LaserJet 3600 via wireless. Those threads were archived with no solution so I couldn't reply, but I wanted to expand on what I discovered.
    It is not so much Mac OS X 10.6, but the way HP's horrible host-based printing drivers are tied to the wireless. I've discovered that laptops with 10.6 that are also using the newer Broadcom BCM43xx chipset will garble their print command, causing the print queue to mess up on the host machine, and the printer to become unresponsive to all other machines (it perpetually thinks there's something in the queue, so no other print commands will go through.) The three laptops I tested were the unibody aluminum 13" MacBook Pro, unibody aluminum 15" MacBook Pro, and the plastic unibody 13" MacBook; all with clean installs of 10.6.2. All three laptops have the same printing error.
    Laptops with the Atheros 5416 chipset work fine, even with 10.6. Laptops tested with this chipset were the aluminum 15" MacBook Pro, aluminum 17" MacBook Pro, and the white MacBook.
    This is not any fault of Apple, it is HPs abysmal host-based printing system. The solution to this problem until HP updates their printer drivers is to use the open source HPIJS drivers (HP drivers for the Linux Foundation Open Printing.) You'll need HPIJS, Foomatic-RIP, and Ghostscript; all installers are listed and come with uninstallers should any unexpected errors occur.
    I don't know Apple's policy on linking to external websites, but a simple Google search for HPIJS will give the desired link.
    This may be a good solution for 10.4 and 10.5 clients working across subnets, as the HPIJS drivers can be used via simple LPD/LPR instead of the HP IP Printing System that relies on mDNS.
    Once installed, when you type in the IP address of your Color LaserJet 3600, you'll be presented with the option of choosing the HPIJS driver.
    Additionally, if you use the HP drivers for the LaserJet 3600 over both wired and wireless network, you must add the printer while on the wireless network only; it is important that you disconnect the ethernet cable. If you add the printer while using a wired connection, the printer will not work over wireless; however, if you add the printer while on a wireless connection, the printer will work on either wireless or wired.
    Yes, the HP host-based drivers are that ridiculous.

    Unfortunately 10.6.3 did not fix the problem.
    I've also, unfortunately, found out that the HPIJS will also eventually fail to print.
    This is beyond frustrating since we invested several thousands of dollars in these printers and we can't use them.

  • AirTunes not working over wireless from Windows 7

    Setup:
    Dell Inspiron 15 laptop (Windows 7 Home Premium)
    Airport Express
    Network:
    ADSL router
    +- Desktop PC (ethernet to router)
    +- Airport Express (ethernet to router)
    +- Dell laptop (wireless to Airport Express)
    The Airport Express creates a wireless network (802.11n, 2.4GHz). The Dell laptop can't see the speakers. My Macbook Pro works fine. I've determined that the problem is that IPv6 isn't working over wireless. The Dell laptop can't see the Airport Express with the Airport Utility either.
    When I plug the Dell laptop into the ethernet on the ADSL router, everything starts working fine. If you look at the interface information DHCPv6 is up.
    Without the cable plugged in my wireless connection says:
    IPv6 Connectivity: No network access
    When a cable is plugged in:
    IPv6 Connectivity: No internet access
    (which is how it should be).
    I am pulling my hair out here and have absolutely no idea why this won't work.
    Firewall is completely disabled. The router also creates an 802.11g network but it's settings shouldn't matter (wireless isolation, which is turned off, and so on).
    Any suggestions?

  • HP Photosmart C4380 [8A36CB] communicat​ion error with MacBook OS 10.7.5 over wireless

    Hi,
    I keep getting the message 'communication error' when trying to print wireless to a Photosmart C4380 from my MacBook (OS 10.7.5) through a TimeCapsule 2Gb router.
    The message also says: "/usr/libexec/cups/backend/dnssd failed" but I don't know what to do with it...
    I tried to de- and re-install, restart laptop, printer and router and pull all plugs in different sequences, first use the USB cable to install wireless and all other help from HP ... but nothing seems to work (HP Doctor is not available for Mac).
    The strange part is that:
    1.it started a couple of weeks ago, without having changed anything (by my knowledge),
    2. printing from my iMac works fine (same wireless network, same software version, same settings, etcetera)!!!
    2. printing over USB from my MacBook works fine
    3. I can print a test-page from "HP Utility" form my MacBook (and of course from my iMac but that one works fine anyway)
    4. I can access the printer through "http://hp8a36cb.local./index.htm?cat=info&page=pri​nterInfo" and there are no issues mentioned whatsoever,
    5. the 'HP Network Configuration Page' and the 'Wireless Network Test Report' congratulate me on the successful setup of my wireless printer... but it doesn't work.
    I've read almost all posts about communication errors over wireless but haven't found an answer to my issue (yet).

  • How do I share a drive over wireless?

    I recently read an article on CNet that showed how to share a drive over wireless...on Windows.  I have a Macintosh and Airport Express 2g router.  Is it possible to share a drive over the USB port in the Airport express to other Mac or iOS devices?  For reference, I have linked to the CNet Windows sharing article below.  They didn't give any Apple instructions, so I am asking here.  Thanks in advance!
    http://www.cnet.com/how-to/share-an-external-hard-drive-over-a-wi-fi-network/

    You can share files.. with the following notes..
    Sometimes what you can do is not what you should do.
    Store files on the TC.
    This is asked several times a day.. obviously people are struggling with their latest SSD being too small.
    The TC is not suitable for network file server.. but many people having no choice press it into service as such.
    Major issues.
    1. No backup.. no way Time Machine can backup a network drive. No place to backup to.. So all your files will be at risk on the TC. And you will need to buy a third party like CCC to do backup.
    2. The TC cannot be partitioned and mixing TM backups and data is not great. It was and is and ever shall be a backup device for Time Machine.
    3. The drive is slow to spin up and quick to spin down.. there is no control. In fact the TC is so lacking in controls for even the router side.. that you cannot do more than the most basic of setups.
    The following are controls on the hard disk side.
    Reformat it. You can name the share. You can do a full archive of the whole disk. This will go at a speed of aprox. 30-50GB/Hr so calculate how long an archive of a full 2TB will take.
    4. iPhoto in particular can easily corrupt its entire library with wireless networking causing a disconnection to one photo. Even if you do this;;; do not move your photo library... you have been warned!!
              Even apple btw say don’t do it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5168 Although mostly about FAT32           it adds network drives.
    5. iTunes can constantly lose connection to the library. The disk is slow to respond.. itunes on the computer will constantly spit out errors. Even in the midst of streaming the TC can spin down the disk due to caching.
    6. Do not use any live files on the TC no matter what else you do.. if you edit files in whatever program the file must be on the local hard disk.
    7. The only suitable location for most libraries is a computer. You can plug in an external hard disk.

  • Very slow Windows domain login over IPSec VPN

    Hi
    I'm experiencing very slow Windows domain logins over an IPSec VPN connection. The AD is in Site 1, some users are in Site 2. Two Cisco ASA firewalls connect both sites by an IPSec VPN over the Internet.
    I made some registery changes on the Windows XP client on site2 to let Kerberos communicate over TCP instead of UDP. Still the logins take extremely long (45 minutes). Profiles are very small, so there had to be a problem with Kerberos, MTU sizes or somethin like that. I already changed the clients MTU settings to 1000 byes, but login is still very slow. I made some sniffer logs...
    Does anybody know what the problem can be ?

    Hi Remco,
    The most common issue with slowness over VPN is going to be fragementation. In general below are the recommendations to avoid fragmentation
    1. For TCP traffic, use "ip tcp adjust-mss 1360" on the Internal LAN Interface on the Router. If you are using GRE then configure "ip mtu 1400" under the Tunnel Interface.
    If you are not using GRE then the value of "ip tcp adjust-mss" depends on the type of transform-set being used E.g. AES\3DES etc, so you can increase the value of TCP adjust command from 1360 to a higher value. Though I will start from 1360 first for testing.
    Also take a look at the below article for MTU Issues
