Title: ICMP TimeExceeded
Post by: dbasnett on April 10, 2010, 04:22:34 PM: The 4500 does not appear to respond correctly to tracert:

My config looks like this

Code: [Select]
Internet | | | WP ----- |IRTR |LP---Server ----- LP | | | WP ----- |WRTR |LP---DlinkNAS321 ----- MyPC – WIFI to WRTR WP = WAN Port LP = LAN Port IRTR Dlink4500– primary internet access WRTR Dlink4500– wifi rtr IRTR – LAN – 192.168.3.0 /24 WRTR – LAN – 192.168.1.0 /24
The tracert from MyPC looks like this:
1 1 ms 1 ms <1 ms 192.168.33.1 <<< - IRTR WP Address
2 5 ms 6 ms 5 ms 10.239.99.1
...

The first hop should have been from WRTR.

I have heard good and bad things about the 4500, and about D-Link tech support. So far me experience has been better than with other SOHO manufacturers.

Post by: dbasnett on April 11, 2010, 04:27:22 PM: Does D-Link tech support ever read these forums? I submitted a bug report, and have not heard from them.

The application I am developing is basically a home network monitor, or should I say another. One of the things it is going to do is flag every flaw it finds, and notify the user. The Netgear products I was using previously were worse, but they got flagged also.

One other thing it will do is test performance, but that will require two PC's for accurate measurement. That code I've had for years, and it easily drove 100Mbps Ethernet at wire speed. We will see how this does.

This particular problem is dumb, and so fundamental it makes me wonder about what other shortcuts they took.
