Hi there,
I have a very puzzling problem and was hoping that some kind person out there may be able to help me out:-)
I have a D-Link DWL-G710 AirPlus Wireless range extender which is connected to a network (with a domain server running NT4.0), and although my laptop can connect to the range extender fine (with excellent signal strength), it's not giving me access to the network. If I go to the place which would normally show all the computers connected to the network, very few appear. If i refresh the box from time to time over the space of a few minutes, then one or two more may appear but it would still be well short of the full list. Then if i try and access one of the machines in the list it thinks about it for a while and then tells me that the machine is not accesible. This happens regardless of which machine I try and access. At first I was thinking that it may have had something to do with my pc's TCP/IP settings but:
I also have a Belkin F5D 7130 Access point/range extender attached to the network too elsewhere in the building. Now I can connect to this one fine as well (with decreased signal strength cos further away) BUT the difference is - this gives me full access to the network!
The thing is I would rather use the d-link one because it is in my office and gives me full signal strength. I've tried changing the channel on the D-link but without success.
If anyone has any thoughts at all on what the problem is then i'd be verey grateful for your help.
Thanks for reading
David
