IP Networking
Authored by: bakalite on Nov 26, '02 12:23:19PM

Guys, the problem was not one of IP address mismatch, subnet settings, router settings, or any other settings. Let me make this perfectly clear:

All the computers on the network are set to 192.168.0.x
All the routers (including the gateway and the WET11) are set to 192.168.0.x
The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 on ALL machines.
The gateway router is communicating with the internet as evidenced by net access on other computers in the system.

The PC will work in that setup with the WET11, the Mac will not have any internet access.

I know you are trying to figure out a way that this would make sense....it doesn't. I suspect it's some strange bug between the Mac and the WET11, there is no other explanation anyone has come up with that makes sense.

In any case, setting the whole network to 192.168.1.x fixes the problem....and that's the important part :-)

Ok, im not fully awake and i could be talking crap, but maybe you have IP forwarding enabled on the Windows PC. I havent put a lot of in depth thought into the idea but isnt that like a software router built into Windows NT OS'es. Could be a bung theory considering I dont even know wot Windows OS youre using.

Yup im going back to bed now...
