Wireless and DHCP

Wed May 31, 2006 4:39 am

I am hoping this is a real easy question.

I have setup wireless on MT 2.9.23 with a Wireless (Atheros AR5213) card (really a Dlink PCI Card) and have setup a profile for WEP PSK TKIP.

Its simply setup as a WAP I hope.

I authenticate no problem but I recieve no IP Address from the DHCP server. Since the MT in wireless is in AP-BRIDGE mode shouldnt it just act like a Wireless Access Point and the MT hands out IP Addresses???


How do I get the MT to hand out DHCP addresses for wireless clients.

Client host requires DHCP-client configuration,
MikroTik RouterOS DHCP-server configuration for this wireless interface. to setup DHCP server 'ip dhcp-server setup',

DHCP server configuration options pretty well described in documentation.

DHCP

Wed May 31, 2006 10:35 am

Ok I have DHCP Setup and I get a valid IP but I cannot ping the MT router or other stations.

I also cannot ping the laptop wireless.

What is missing.


MT Router 192.168.2.250

Server 192.168.2.254

laptop gets 192.168.2.100

when a station gets a DHCP lease it works no problem

whrn the wireless get a DHCP lease it gets all the correct settings but cant talk to anything???

Just as a note I am using a Wireless (Atheros AR5213) (actually a Dlink Card or something) It is not connected to the LAN port it is a PCI card inside the box.. does that matter?
