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...
We have over 40 of these devices and several have shown the handing out of DHCP described in this thread. These devices are connected 24/7 via it's ethernet port to a device which is on. So the suggestion that this issue occurs on disconnection to it's wired port would not seem accurate, at least in our experience. What I have noticed is this issue occurring when there is a prolonged interruption that this device has to the wireless network. I.E., when it cannot obtain an address. All the devices are set to DHCP an address. Someone suggested changing the static ip and changing back to DHCP. I'm going to set one of the problem devices we have to static to see if this resolves the issue.
