IP Office and Wireless LAN

[OhioTelecom]

Having problems getting this to work. I have the wireless installed and I can connect to it. I can ping my router, and all the computers on the network, however I can not get Internet access. I can unplug the cable from customers router that is plugged into WAN port of IP office, into my laptop, and give my laptop the same IP the internet works ok. Not sure what I am missing.

Do you have a default route in your IPO pointing to the routers IP adress for example

0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 LAN1

if LAN1 is connected to your network and ..0.1 being your router.

if the router is connected to the wan port on an SOE (lan 2) on the IPO & you can ping it then the routing is probably OK.
I suspect you may not hae your DNS settings correct
Can you ping Internet addresses by thier IP address?

try tracert to 64.233.187.99 (google.com) & see how fr your
data actualy travels

Just a note if this is using the Wifi card on the SOE then DO NOT upgrade to V3.1 or V3.2(17) as this function is seriously broken an will kill all network trafic! - It has been fixed in the Maintanence release due on 13/10/06.

Sorry I should have mentioned that. It is SOE 3.1 65. I was not able to ping internet addresses.

That build of software is broken for the Wifi card
either dowgrade to V3.0 or wait for the mainenace release of V3.2 (expect it to be delaid past the 13/10/06 date as avaya have just recalled their last field trial of this build)

when you have a working unit you need to ad an IP route route 0.0.0.0
mask 0.0.0.0
gatewatey - ipaddr of internet router
dest LAN2

also make sure that NAT is enabled on lan2.

this assumes that your lan2 is on a fixed IP adddress if it is a dhcp client the routing should be sorted automaticaly.
