Heres a wierd one for you all.
Computer network at a School: Proxy Server, DNS Server, DHCP Server, general server:
Last October i setup 3 WiFi access points on the network. All configured to hand out IPs & to have their IP as static.
Tested on an Apple iBook & a Thinkpad, both, when running Firefox, come up with the proxy user/pass dialogue box that is standard to access the net on the network.
Now. We have 10 Dell laptops, that, for some reason, work as above when connected via a ethernet cable to the network. But not when running Wireless.
They do connect to the access points, and i give them IPs, that work.
So, according to the wireless software on them, they are connected to the access points fine. With the correct DNS settings as well.
Now, putting the proxys, that work when wired, into Firefox when running wireless does nothing. No access whatsover.
It cant even ping the access point its connected to!
Ideas?
