Subject: Re: More AT-on-wireless network questions

This sounds similar to what I experienced here.. I ran wired from an 8
port router for month or more, never any problems getting music, or turtle
radio on the net.

In order to make my 802.11b wireless work, I ended up doing this.. 2
LinkSys WAP11's operating in bridge mode, with 2nd wap's mac address in
first, and 1st wap's mac address in the 2nd. 1st wap plugged into
router wireless to 2nd wap short 'CROSSOVER' cable from 2nd WAP to
the Audiotron.. Never misses a lick, never says HOSTS down, always can
access Turtle radio.. It only took 7 chat sessions with LinkSys and just
about every combinitation of configuration you can think of, but in the end
it is worth it.. I will say this, IF you decide to do anything, make
sure you do what ever it is to the 2nd WAP first, cause you won't be able to
talk to it once again, once you hit apply, until you make the 1st wap the
same thing, which is easy cause it is wired to the ROUTER.. Of course, you
could run a temporary wire to the 2nd if had do..

Subject: [AT] More AT-on-wireless network questions


I have my AT wired to a DLINK wirelessG access point as well and am having
the worst time keeping the AT stable. Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Some background:

I live in a standalone house with no 2.4GHz devices.
The network ran great for about a month with 2 wired and 1 wireless (PCI
card) clients into a DLINK wirelessG router.
There are no class-b devices on my network, and the router is set to "g
only".

I bought a DLINK access point (DWL-2000AP) which runs one of 4
modes, Access Point, Client, Bridge or Multi-Bridge. Per DLINK, I set it up
in wireless client mode (also g-only). I wasn't too sure about the AT's
setup in this environment so I tried dynamic but it would not get on the
network. I set it to static and upon hard boot the AT almost always finds
the 2 wired hosts and loads a TOC file from each. Most times it will let me
select "All Files" but refuses to play any, cycling though all file names
saying "Opening" and finally quitting saying "Hosts Down". It will sometimes
play songs successfully (once for a whole day) but ultimately falls off the
network and returns to the "Opening/Host Down" cycle. Power cycling the
access point before the Hosts Down error sometimes resumes playback,
sometimes not. Sometimes the AT needs to be hardbooted as well.
The AT's webserver was always inaccessable until I added it's MAC
address to the static table on the router. Now the .104 IP loads the AT's
webserver 50% of the time. It doesn't matter whether I try it from wired or
wireless clients, it loads half the time. Soooo, with my limited knowledge
of bridges/access points/etc., I don't know if I'm even setting the network
devices up correctly to support the AT. I just know that the AT is painful
to use. Any help on or off list would be greatly appreciated.
