Hi there,
I am using WL-500G with frimware 1.8.1.9. Using manual IP addresses. One computer connected thru wired ethernet (192.168.1.2) and another using wiresless (WL-167G) (192.168.1.3). They can both connect to internet without problems but they cannot see each other in neighbour and cannot even ping each other. They can both ping the router though (192.168.1.1).
I am using HomeGateway mode...Anyone what's worng here??? How to set it up correctly? :eek:
HELP !!!

sounds like even they are not bridged(is that the default?) or that routing is disabled.

Yes, this is pretty much after the easy setup wizard, how do I make them "Bridged" or enable routing? You mean "Port routing"?
Do I make the changes in the WL-500G? (Web page) or on the individual computers?? PLs explain
thx. ;)

please completely turn off windows XP firewall or other firewalls if you have any

Hi,
yes, silly me, I had installed personal firewalls which blocks all traffic, reducing their security level solved the problem.
However, new problem, I found that whenever I don't access the web for a while and I load a new page, it takes a while (10-20 secs) just to load the first page, but afterwards, browsing is relatively quick.
I suspect the WL-500G disconnects from ISP and reconnect, but I see the system log only have one line about connecting to ISP.
I have entered "0" as the ISP connection time (so it should not disconnect).
Is there anything to help? :confused:
Does this behaviour still occur if you use the IP address directly instead of the dns name?

Hi,
If you mean the not-pingable behaviour, that's fixed with lowering firewall security level.
If you mean the slow-first-page behaviour, yes, it is the same when I am using static IP addresses for all connected systems.
is that what you're asking? :eek:

I was referring to the slow webpages.
What I meant was: Do the pages still load slow if you enter the IP address of the server in your address bar instead of its dns name.
Example: Normally you would go to something like: http://www.tweakers.net which is translated by DNS to: http://213.239.154.35. If you browser works fast when using IP's and slow with DNS then you know in which direction to look (slow DNS servers of you ISP for example).

I don't think its not the problem of ISP' DNS, because
1) Works smooth and fast without WL-500G (direct from ISP's ASDL to computer)
2) The slowness is just for the very first page after a long idle time, afterwards, I can goto all sorts of URLs (text address) relatively quickly.
:rolleyes:
