Title: man, what is with dlinnk and their damm wireless lately !?
Post by: casondave on June 06, 2010, 11:07:07 AM
OK, so first of all, my 615 at work barfs and now my lovely 655 at home is acting like crap!


Anyone wanna talk a stab at this?

In the status of the router under wireless it says I'm in with my SSID MAC of the laptop I'm on but the
IP # is all freaking 0.0.0.0 and I have an 81 Mbps connection at 74%

Wheres the IP?  The laptop says its happy on a hard address of 192.168.55 195 and its firefox is pooched, and the damm dlink log says:

[INFO] Sun Jun 06 11:06:17 2010 Blocked outgoing ICMP packet (ICMP type 3) from 192.168.55.195 to 75.154.132.68

Man, what a way to spend a sunday ....

Cheers'
Dave

Hi Dave,

Do a Factory Reset on each Router and reenter all changes you made.

Losing Electricity and having it come back on, is enough to corrupt settings.  Do a Factory Reset and test.

I had the same problem until this morning.  Acquiring network address because the router wasn't assigning an IP to my XP machine.  It couldn't see it, though I saw the network connection.  I don't know if this will help you or not, but here's what I did to finally fix the problem.  I logged into the router (192.168.0.1).  Clicked on Setup, then Wireless, then "Manual Wireless Network Setup".  I changed the 802.11 mode to "802.11g only" and viola!  I waited a few minutes and everything was connected perfectly and my laptop now had an IP address.  My XP machine doesn't have 802.11n and mixed mode wasn't working.  I knew both machines had 802.11g, so I selected that option only.

Anyway, I wrestled with this darn setup for 3 days, so I know how frustrating it is.  My solution may very well not work for you, but I thought I'd at least mention what I did to resolve a similar problem.
