Belkin wireless DHCP problem - 'limited or no connectivity'

Sep 10, 2005 1 Replies

been having lots of frustration with this ''limited or no connectivity'' issue due to failure of DHCP to assign IP to client. Running XP SP2 WZC service on.



Have tried 2 different Belkin routers, 3 different wireless clients.



WEP/WPA Security and firewalls all off. Router firmware flash update check says it is up to date.



Connection always ok with wired lan connection to router, but wireless always gives 'limited or no connectivity'.



If I force the IP, Gateway, and DNS addresses on client to be fixed, bypassing DHCP, then it works ok.



Is there a bug in the Belkin DHCP scheme?



Is there a bug in XP-SP2 wireless?

Do you have encryption enabled? If yes, temporarily disable encryption and see if DHCP works. If it does, use a Hex WEP key instead of an ASCII WEP key. If that doesn't work, you'll need to disclose your unidentified model Belkin router. You might also check if you have the latest firmware in the unspecified Belkin router and possibly do some testing with a different known working laptop.
