WAN DHCP timeout issue

Hi guys, currently using 1.9.2.7.CR6b firmware on my WL-500g, but have an issue on WAN DHCP.
I know its not a bug, and it is not normal circumstances, but my and many others ISP in Norway is currently have a problem on their DHCP server, with regards to delayed allocation of DHCP address.
I have tested with my PC and connected it straight to the modem, then it takes 60-120 seconds before it is assigned a DHCP address from the ISP.
But going through the router (wl-500g), the router is not able to "wait" that long for a response from the ISP DHCP server, and thereby just says "Disconnected", "Lost IP from server" :confused:
Is there any easy change to extend the discovery time, before "timeout" for a WAN DHCP request???

When I press the "Connect" button, I can see in the log that it ask for "Renew", but with problems like this, does it ask with a "renew of 0.0.0.0" or last known IP???
I was told they had to delete the ISP DHCP assignment log, and that the router must ask for a renew of 0.0.0.0 so it will receive a new IP.

Pls help, It is the 5th day "without" Internet and with DHCP problems from my ISP, and they are "Still" working to "fix" their problem!!! :mad:

================================================== ======
No rush guys, just spoke to my ISP again, and I got a fixed IP for free forever :D
No longer need DHCP on WAN.... :cool:

Best Regards

MAC filter x ping respond & WAN web access

Hi,
I have firmware v1.9.2.7 CR6b in my Asus WL-500b and have little problem. When I enable MAC filter in Internet firewall settings to accept mode and ping respond from WAN, web access from WAN is enabled too, then ping respond from WAN and web access from WAN does not work.
MAC filter is determined for LAN. Why have a effect for WAN too?

Thank's for answer.

My WAN disconnected... after that i checked the log from my WL500g. And i see this.

Oleg let me start off by saying "Thank you for the work!"

I will have to try this firmware release when I get home. I don't want to do it remotely :)

For the Wan-port dying issue:

I dont know if this has been brought up before or not.

My situation in the past (1.9.2.7-5a and older) has mirrored most other users except I'm not using the WAN port. I use my wl500g as an access-point/print server only. All routing is done via my 'nix box.

My access to the wl500g disappears. It is becomes non-pingable. ARP does not complete. When this happens, all print services cease and I cannot telnet/http into the administrative interface. The switch continues to function flawlessly.

What intrigues me is that I am not using the WAN port at all. My 'nix box feeds my lan via the switch and the other PCs are using the other LAN ports.

Has the possibility that the WAN port dying issue is not really the WAN port and something else? I do notice that when using P2P applications the dying happens more frequently. I've had the wl500g for almost a year now, but did not start seeing issues until I tried P2P applications.

I'll upgrade to current 1.9.2.7-CR6 later this morning to get a feel for how it works.

After acitating WPA-PSK I have problems connecting with my notebook (xp home sp2 with siemens gigaset 54-card). Sometimes the connection will not work, i have to deactivate the card and than activate it again. Sometimes i will get an error-message after doing this but the connection will work anyway.

This definitely is a gigaset driver problems. Nothing to do with firmware.

Oleg when is the latest firmware ready for use?
24-09-2005, 11:04
Oleg

The next firmware would be 1.9.2.7-6c, which would be mostly a bug fix release.

Hi,

do a fresh restart (Power Off and on)

Login to your Device

Stick in the Stick.

Do a dmesg

post the results, may there is more written what is going wrong ;-)

Firmware v1.9.2.7 CR6c

In this post Oleg is mentioning a fix for 6b that should be incorporated in 6c. Since I also have the problem with samba and large files that should resolved with this fix, i want to ask when 6c becomes available. If not, could anyone supply me with (or better post) the patch for 6b so I can compile it myself?

Thanks,

Biko

Hi, it looks like you got some problems with your USB-Stick.

Like you can see at the end of you Kernel Messgaes, the driver has problems to recognize your stick.
Did you tried it at another Linux System ??

Do there the same and post the dmesg output. May be the Kernel-Developers changed something (and they possibly did) in the younger Kernel Versions.

Greetings from Berlin
Andy
