Hi Martin. Hmmm, no I'm not absolutely certain that it's the beacon and probe frames, but it's not dhcp because I'm not using dhcp on the AP -- everything is static. So other than dhcp, and the WEP key negotiation, what else could it be? When I negotiate a connection with my AP with Shorewall on (drakconnect), I can run a network sniffer and "see" all the other devices on the subnet, I just can't ping any of them or connect to systems on the internet. It's like I have a connection but can't actually send any traffic. Today I noticed that I get the same behaviour when I try to connect to a wired network. If I run drakconnect with shorewall on (static IP), I can see all the other hosts in the subnet, but can't ping them or connect to the internet. If I turn Shorewall off and run drakconnect and then turn Shorewall back on, everything works fine... > You could also try running tcpdump on both ends and check the communication > there. Yeah, I'll give that a go...Thanks. -- Peter Pankonin, digitalcrucible There are 10 kinds of people in the world, those who understand binary, and those who don't. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
