No DHCP over wireless link
Posted: Thu Dec 23, 2010 1:20 am
I have created a wireless link between my house and my work using a TP-link AP as a transmitter and a Level One AP as client. My PC at work is connected through ethernet to the Level One AP. So far I have been setting static ips to all my computers but now that i installed Amahi i changed them all to DHCP and then assigned a static ip through amahi's dashboard to each of them.
Unfortunately when I change my work pc from static to DHCP it doesn't get an ip from the amahi server instead it gets a 169.254.168.198/255.255.0.0 ip/subnet mask and loses connection to the network. Normally it should get an ip in the range of 192.168.1.100-199 and after it shows up in the DHCP tab I assign a static ip and i'm ok.
Both AP have static ip (TPlink:192.168.1.2, LevelOne:192.168.1.254), no DHCP servers enabled of coarse.
Any ideas why this happens? I even tried assigning a static ip to it beforehand in the Amahi dashboard using it's MAC address but still nothing...
Is there a solution to my problem, or is there a way to direct my pc to the DHCP server for ip assignment?
Thanks
This is what the troubleshooter gives me:
Using the Network Troubleshooter, I failed step 9 - HDA used as DNS on clients?. Here's a paste to help troubleshoot: http://amahi.pastebin.com/8K5LdnvS
P.S. In order to have internet i have now static ip but i can't see the other computers on my network. And even to access HDA files i have to manually enter //HDA in my explorer because in Network only the work pc shows up. Before amahi all showed up. Now it doesn't access the other computers even if i manually access them like the HDA.
P.S.2 My laptop gets ip ok when it connects wirelessly to the TPlink AP at home.
Mery Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone!!!!!
