Hi All,
My Basestation (graphite) is acting strangely: it's not bridging my Powerbook (running OSX 10.2) to my LAN or ADSL connection.
I've got an ethernet LAN that's online via an ADSL router/modem. My basestation is connected via ethernet to the LAN.
The basetation is sucessfully getting it's TCP/IP settings from the router via DHCP.
The "Network" settings of the basestation are set up to "Distribute IP addresses". Airport client computers are sharing a single IP address (using DHCP and NAT), and I've enabled Airport to ethernet bridging.
The Powerbook is set up to get TCP/IP settings via DHCP (settings are aiport defaults: IP address is 10.0.1.2, mask is 255.255.255.0 and basestation's router address is 10.0.1.1)
I can ping the bastation's address (10.0.1.1) _and_ it's router assigned ip address (192.168.0.32), but I can' t reach beyond.
Can anybody help me out? (got enough info?)
Chas
ps. by the way, I _want_ for the basetation to be just a bridge to the LAN (with the Powerbook getting TCP/IP settings from the ADSL router, but that doesn't work at all: for some reason, if I don't have the basestation running DHCP for airport connected computers, the basestation won't get it's own TCP/IP settings from the ADSL router. Very strange behaviour!)
