[Uncle_Bob]

Hello all,

long time no post, thought it better not to spam the forums

anyway to businss.

I have a cisco 857W SOHO router, configured as a DHCP and DNS router, and quite happily dishing out DHCP addresses to 4 client machines, and allowing connection to the internet. BUT I am trying to configure the wireless module on the router, and this is where I am hitting the snag.

Radio is up, and broadcasting merrily its SSID <NCC1701E> (yes i know....)
security is fine, and I can see the router, and connect to the router wirelessly, BUT the wireless is reporting limited or no connectivity, and I cannot browse the web.

I have set the wireless as bridging mode rather than routing mode.

I m using the latest SDM to configure the router, as I had an issue with SDM express not allowing me save the config

help would be appreciated, I don't have much hair, and would like to keep the rest rather than pull it out.

Uncle Bob, hello.

daft question, but are you actually picking up an IP address? On your wireless workstation, I mean. It sounds like you aren't...you might want to run some debugs on the 857W to see where its failing (haven't one here right now, so couldn't tell you exactly what.)


When you say you have security set up, what exactly?
WPA? WEP?

Let us know...config might be good to see.

As an aside- I had a very similar thing recently with a WEP config on an Aironet
AP. Turned out I had to set my client workstation to 'open' WEP mode rather
than shared. Instantly all was well, and I was joined by my close friends Hunky and Dory.

Hi Uncle Bob,
Can you post your config with passwords removed please?
It doesn't sound like your wireless devices are getting DHCP, perhaps.
I'll see if we can help.
Thanks
David

Hi David, and all you other chaps,

so sorry for the delay in replying, I have been pratting around on stage, and rehearsing for panto, and my wife is getting ready to drop our 3rd. then in my spare time (!) working

as soon as I get a chance I will post up the config, I just ask you all bear with me.

cheers

No worries. Be there for your wife and family, it's more important than all the technology in the world, IMHO.

[theterranaut]

Absolutely. JeremyW is spot on, thats why we do it, after all. We've just (well, 7 weeks ago) had number 2, and everything else just has to take a back seat for our little network and server admins of the future!

take care all

Did you ever get this resolved?

[Uncle_Bob]

hi Guys and Gals, Really sorry about not replying for ages, time and children do not mix :P

to recap, the problem is I cannot get the wireless to route through to the adsl connection and gain wireless connectivity to the internet, yet ethernet connectivity is fine and dandy

here is my config:

now from what i can see, the first change I think needs to put the IP range of the wireless vlan on the same subnet as vlan 1 (i.e. 10.10.10.1/255.255.255.24

I have done no editing of the router config (bar adsl login info), it is shown as is, but for you clever chaps who can work out passwords from the encrypted ones shown, it will be changed

currently the router has been taken offline (my client is moving) so it is in my workshop until they are in their new site.

the biggest bugbear for me is i can build thee required config in SDM express, but it will not allow me to save it to the running config of the router.

any and all help appreciated!

and thanks once again for your patience

now as I understand it from the differences in this one and the old one for cisco routers to work you need to create 2 separate vlans (e.g. vlan1 and vlan2 (wireless)) you then need to create a BVI (bridging virtual interface) to bridge the 2 together and then route all traffic through the BVI to the Dialler interface

i think

I have tried this on my test router and it appears to work, insofar as I can browse the web via ethernet (vlan1) and wireless (vlan2) which I think is as good as it needs to get to start with, VPN tunnels and the like will be configured later, but for now...

as a side note to this, purely for comedy purposes, this config is verion 1.2 yours truly did forget to add the line user [admin] password [admin] into version 1.1, and whilst it did work, I could not log into the router via telnet (vista does not include hyperterminal ) and playing with rommon mode to reset the config!

much thanks for your assistance, and case closed.

Hi Bob

Just wanted say thanks, your post really saved me tearing my hair out too! You think the SDM would be up to this extremely common task wouldn't you?!

Anyway, many thanks.
