Network probs

This is wrecking my head.

Got a Virginmedia super hub delivered today (netgear based VM branded)
Its a pile of shite and i hate netgear at the best of times.

So, i want the network detailed below using MSPaint to work correctly.

However, i cannot access the 2 ddwrt routers or the xbox, w7 pc from a wireless laptop when the ddwrt routers are in "client mode".

the w7 pc can access the internet in this mode.

When i change the ddwrt to "client bridge" mode i can access everything from the w7 wireless laptop but the w7 pc cannot access the internet.

this is pissing me off.

Any ideas/experience with this?

cheers

Did you try turning it off and on again?

Who's the network specialist here? Wink

When in client mode you are running a wireless bridge so the Netgear POS will ONLY connect to the linksys routers wirelessly and nothing else and conversely the linksys routers will only connect wirelessly to the Netgear POS. I suspect this is why you cannot connect to the linksys but not sure why you have interweb access wirelessly.

As to the other problem I would suspect though I have no experience that it is either a subnet mask problem or a DHCP problem.

Further thought. Only the DD-WRT's are a client bridge which is why you can't access them. The Netgear on the other hand is open which is why you can access it.

Client mode the computers can't see each other and can't (I assume) get an IP.

Sorted,

Disabled the wifi on the shitgear and stuck another wrt ddwrt as AP to push the network out.

Winner Very Happy
