Network problem: Connect PDA - Desktop [Solved]
-
Ok, last resort here. Home network layout: [] hardware - wired connection ... wirless connection
[CableModem]-[Router]-[PC_1 WinXP x86]
-[WRT54GX2]......[WET54G]-[BEFSR81]-[PC_2 WinXP x64]
...[PC_3 WinXP x86 (built-in WiFi)]
...[iPaq 3835 PPC2002 (WL110)]All the PC_*, and iPaq, are receiving IP's via DHCP from Router. All the PC_* can see each other and the internet. The iPaq can see the internet, PC_1 and PC_3, but _NOT_ PC_2. When the iPaq tries to access PC_2 the network lights on the BEFSR81 flicker but no packets are passed to PC_2 and the connection attempt times out. PC_2 is not running any firewall software (XP firewall is off). BEFSR81 is set to run as just a switch. This layout used to work, but iPaq and PC_2 have both been reinstalled recently. [SOLVED] Turns out the WET54G had rebooted at some point and the SSID stayed the same but the IP was set back to the default 192.168... which didn't match the network. Setting the IP fixed all. [/SOLUTION]
...cmk The idea that I can be presented with a problem, set out to logically solve it with the tools at hand, and wind up with a program that could not be legally used because someone else followed the same logical steps some years ago and filed for a patent on it is horrifying. - John Carmack
