Hi David ;
I sold the AP and teh guy who bought it managed to get it going as i
just did not think I had teh patience and time to deal with it.
Anyway I thought I owe you this :
This is what he write to me.
"The IP address that was written on the back turned out to be the
factory default, and I found the same thing when I tried to ping it,
and monitoring my router which I connected it to showed it was not
picking up a new IP address from the router so I new that it had DHCP
disabled. This meant that I had to access the setup via the serial
port on the back. Made up the appropriate cable to connect and ran
HyperTerminal on my PC to access the configuration via the serial port.
Fortunately the factory default login passwords had not been changed.
The setup confirmed that DHCP had been disabled and that an manual IP
address of 192.160.0.50 had been assigned. The only parameter I really
had to change to get it running was to enable DHCP so that it picked up
an IP address from the router. Once that was done and the AP rebooted
it picked up a new IP address from my router and it was all go and my
lap top found it no problems. However, I have since downloaded the
manual and have tweaked a few other parameters to enhance performance
and security.
