Hussein Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Hello every one here , i am using leopard 10.5.5 (kalway 10.5.1 updated to 10.5.5) it work fine but i have problem with the intenet. I am using dlink dwl-2100 access point (as wireless adapter) to get access to the wireless internet provided by my neighbor (he use TP-LINK Wireless Router WR541G/542G with dhcp server), i saw that internet was stopped after about 10-15 minutes ,i tried to ping some site and got no reply(while i get it in windows),i turned the connection off and then one also i get the same results after some minute, while there is connection with the router (when i pinged with the router i got response - local net) I do not have such problem with windows xp and ubuntu ,but i had it wit pcbsd unix so is there any idea to solve this problem.

inimicus Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Are you receiving a correct IP address from your neighbor's router/DHCP? In my experience in using a modded Linksys WRT54G, I've had to manually assign my IP address to get things working consistently. Ensure that DHCP is disabled on your D-Link unit, its in AP client mode, and that it is accepting a correct IP address from your neighbor's router. Your machine's IP should fall within your neighbor's router's subnet and not the access point's (if different). If everything checks out, you may want to (somehow) verify that your ethernet is not the source of the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hussein Posted October 3, 2008 Author Share Posted October 3, 2008 Thanks for reply , I am receiving correct ip and i disabled dhcp on dlink access point (as it work in client mode), i am using it with windows xp and ubuntu , it work very good , but with mac os x,pcbsd (both system based on bsd ) it works fine for 10-15 minutes and then internet is stopped while there is still connection with my neighbor's router , so the problem happen when i use mac os x or pcbsd ,other system it works fine (my ethernet card is Realtek RTL8139 ) , i think the router stop routing with bsd base system after few minutes ,but why? (the router is TP-Link and not linksys ,i have linksys in the work and i do not have such problem) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
