Title: 5600, 3Com & Netgear???
Post by: Anonymous on January 19, 2004, 09:45:13 pm

Has anyone experienced any problems with DHCP on 3Com routers?

z5600 running 2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix
rom 1.21

through Netgear MA701

through 3Com access point

to 3Com dsl router issuing DHCP.

If I set the address on the 5600 to static I get connectivity for about 2 seconds and then it bombs out with a \'no connection detected, check your TCP/ip setting\' yet the connection mananger shows a link and the LED is on until I click OK on the warning and then the link is shut down.  

IF I set the 5600 to DHCP it just times out.

ring any bells with anyone?

I noticed that the ma701 is not in the wlan.conf file.
cardctl gives me the following messages

cardctl ident
Socket 0:
   product info: \"NETGEAR\", \"MA\", \"\"
Socket 1:
   no product info available

cardctl status
Socket 0:
    3.3v 16-bit PC Card
    function 0: [ready]

fyi, I posted the original problem and traced the problem to a faulty cat5 cable.  I now have no problem with the described setup
