Title: RE: [smartBridges] QoS on SBTotals

More background… The reason a problem has developed is this:

 

I previously had a router with DHCP server between the DSL Modem and first APPO. I had the second APPO plugged into a LAN port on the D-Link, along with a Vonage ATA in another LAN port. Several computers connected to the D-Link wirelessly. The computers and ATA got DCHP info from the first router. The D-Link had DHCP disabled and nothing in the WAN port (it was acting as a switch rather than a gateway).

 

The router plugged into the DSL modem died (damn Linksys BEFSR41). So I plugged the first APPO directly into the DSL modem. I wanted to plug other APPO into the WAN port of the D-Link and turn on it’s DHCP server. But damned if the D-link can’t get WAN info from the DSL modem.

 

My head hurts (presumably from banging it on the desk).

Subject: [smartBridges] Urgent DHCP Problem (through APPOs)
Importance: High

 

I am having a problem passing DHCP over a PtP link of APPOs. Here is what I have:

 

DSL Modem – APPO Wireless Bridge – APPO Wireless Bridge – DSL Router (Cheapo D-Link 714P) – Devices

 

The DSL router is not getting its WAN info from the DSL modem.

 

However… If I do:

 

DSL Modem – APPO Wireless Bridge – APPO Wireless Bridge – Vonage ATA or

DSL Modem – APPO Wireless Bridge – APPO Wireless Bridge – Computer w/ Wireless ethernet adapter (on another channel from the APPO wireless bridge, of course)

 

… the ATA or computer is able to get a WAN address. The Vonage phone works or the computer can browse the Internet.

 

Furthermore, if I plug the remote APPO into a LAN port of the router, and the ATA into another LAN port, the ATA can get a WAN address and work fine.

 

I could plug the router directly into the DSL modem and see if it works, but that is not practical at this very second. Any ideas?
