Hey
I dug out my old AP (D-Link DWL-6000AP_revB) from basement storage to see if I could get it working. Nothing apears to be wrong with it, but I can't get it to relay DHCP-requests.

I have set up my Router like in the Official Gentoo Home Router Guide.

Even if I totally reset the AP it won't work. According to D-link is should be transparent though. I wonder if it could be that my DHCP-server is not sending more IP-configurations because it thinks that the AP is again asking. I don't know.

dhcpd.conf
Code:
authoritative;
ddns-update-style ad-hoc;
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
    range 192.168.0.100 192.168.0.250;
    default-lease-time 259200;
    max-lease-time 518400;
    option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
    option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255;
    option routers 192.168.0.1;
    option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.1;
}
host Aridhol
{
     hardware ethernet 00:01:03:C2:D0:8B;
     fixed-address 192.168.0.2;
}


Any ideas?

Wired clients get IPs and work fine. As soon as I plug the AP in it gets an IP, but clients connected to the AP does not.

i am guessing that its a setting in the access point. i found this. but i assume that you read that.

http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?prod_id=1633&question=DWL-6000AP%20/%20DWL-6000AP_revB

what ip does the access point show?

what ip does dhcpd show?

can you log into the access point?

and is there another switch on the network?

what ip does the access point show?
192.168.0.50 (Default) When using static IP. (It is not in the DHCP adresspool and is not used anywhere else)

what ip does dhcpd show?
About the AP? Nothing now since I use Static. But when I tried DHCP, it showed the same IP the AP reported itself to have.

can you log into the access point?
Yes. Both when having IP assigned statically and Dynamically.

and is there another switch on the network?
No, only one hub atm, no switch.

how are they connected ?
