Hi all,
I have friend with Symbol 4121 802.11b Access Point that is acting up
and I'm hoping someone in the BAWUG community can give me some hints
before I recommend throwing this thing away. Here are the facts:
1. It used to work fine for > a year.
2. Netstumbler reports it up and working fine.
3. All laptops and cards (three laptops tried) suffer the same
experience.
4. Windows XP reports the AP is up and running, however once it is
accessed, the AP ceases to give a signal.
The events would look like
a. AP up and running looking fine via Netstumber or a
wireline telnet connection to the AP admin screen
b. Client clicks on the XP "View available networks" and
sees the AP
c. Clients clicks on "Connect" and the AP radio seems to
cease working. (this is true for Win98 and Win2k clients as well)
d. Netstumbler no longer sees the AP
e. The wireline telnet connection to the AP still works and
the AP seems to be working fine from a terminal view.
f. I've tried to set everything the factory defaults (by
manually reseting each item by the manual) without luck.
? Have I missed a setting that says 'if a client tries to connect,
shut down the radio'?
Thanks!!
