Hello all,
I got stuck installing a WAP, wireless access point. The configuration is:
Linux server with DHCP daemon

|
|--> client (Windows)
Linux server, router and WAP are all connected together via CAT5 cabling, server & wap plugged into the LAN ports on the router?
The problem is between de WAP and the client.
The client connects with the WAP, that works OK.
The DHCP gives the client an ip-number, that's fine.
If all this is working, the problem isn't between the WAP and the client! The client has found the wap, connected, asked for an IP and got it from your server. Networking is working...
_But_ there is no internet, nor network sharing possible from the
client.
Where is the internet provided from? The router? If so, you will need to configure your linux DHCP server to tell all clients that the "Gateway" is the router's IP address. The default for the linux dhcp server will be to tell the clients that the linux box is the internet gateway....
This is understandible, because the WAP has a fixed
ip-address,
This doesn't have anything to do with it.
Now, why does the WAP has to have a fixed IP number? I can change the
number, but in my opinion it should get the ip-number from the DHCP
daemon.
Does it have a "get IP address dynamically" option in its config? If not, then you do indeed need to hard-wire the IP.
