WNCE2001 inappropriately providing DHCP connections
I have a new WNCE2001 Wireless Ethernet bridge and have successfully configured it to connect my ethernet-only printer to my home network. This morning, I was unable to get to the internet from my iP...
And it's the same issue here too. I have this hooked up to an ethernet HP laserjet 2450 printer so that it acts as a wireless device thru my FIOS Actiontec router. It definitely hijacks my wireless devices by issuing DHCP addresses to them and they cannot connect to the internet either. I have to unplug the WNCE when not in use so that my laptops use DHCP thru the Actiontec router.
The WNCE has been set up as with a static ip address of 192.168.1.251 and it works fine for the HP printer when it is in use. However, when the HP is not being used, the WNCE takes over my home network and assigns its own DHCP addresses.
