Title: Wifi Problem With Cacko 1.23 Lite
Post by: terencek on November 22, 2005, 11:36:47 pm
I have a C860 and recently flashed with the Cacko 1.23 lite. I tend to move between my office network and my home network. I've an irritating problem with my Z when I have been using it on my home net and I try to get on at work.

In a nutshell - It associates with the AP at the office but does not DHCP. After a long inital connection it shows that it's associated and online but defaults to the IP / gateway / DNS info from my home network. After a re-boot it will associate and DHCP just fine.

I guess I'm looking for a quicker workaround that the full re-boot. Anyone have ideas on how to get it to either A) knock off this behaviour or  commands that will get it to release the old info and actually DHCP.

Thanks in advance

Would appreciate anyone that can advise me where or which file in the Z that keeps the dynamic IP address information from the previous connected wifi session?
Thanks!

Did you setup 2 profiles, one for work and one for home?  Or do you just have a single 'auto' profile?

I had the same issue, but then just set a specific profile for both work and home, when you click connect it prompts you for which to use and I haven't had any trouble since (and have added 2 friends home connections as well).

I have specific profiles for both office and home. Same as you, it will connect when prompted for connection. But the dynamic address is still the same as the home's. My office address starts from 192.168.x.x but my home is 10.0.x.x. I did an experiment with my friend's access point and the same thing happen. So no matter which access point I connect too, the IP address will still be 10.0.x.x. The only way to resolve this now will be to reboot the Z.

Just very short hint.... but maybe it help

Deactivate autoconnection I run sometimes in trouble with that.
If you use already 2 profiles you might like to try to deactivate your DHCP-sever at home. For a standard home net DHCP is not really necessary. Use static IP gives you in my opinion much advantage about the controlling of your network. For sure you cannot change your work-net but you might like to change your home-net.

Just my two cents
