I am having problems with DHCP and DNS queries getting through XP
network bridges. I am running XP SP2 on all PCs.
My configuration.
cable (road runner/ Ambit cable modem)
=> motorola vt1005 voice terminal (with NAT and DHCP)
=> desktop (bridging two segments - 3Com 3C905TX and Realtek RTL8139)
=> laptop1 (bridging ethernet - Broadcom 440x - and wireless - Dell WLAN
1350) ad-hoc
=> laptop2 (Trendnet TEW-421PC wireless)
From Laptop2 I can get on the ad-hoc wireless net. I do not get a DHCP
configuration. If I set up with static information, I can ping the
desktop, laptop1, the gateway (vt1005) and I can ping IP addresses on
the Internet. I cannot DNS names resolved. If I run nslookup and specify
an ISP or public DNS server, I get a "no response from server" message.
From Laptop1, I get DHCP and DNS. It appears to working fine.
So, it appears that neither DNS nor DHCP are getting through to laptop2.
But ICMP is. Some traffic is getting through, other traffic is not.
Previous to installing the motorola vt1005, I had this working with the
desktop running ICS and only Laptop1 bridging. So Laptop1 bridging was
working in the previous configuration. And the Desktop bridging is
working for laptop1, for now, anyway.
Any ideas?
Thanks
