Hi posters, I have an alvarion IDU that's taken me to hell n back. I can connect directly to the internet on a PC but it won't connect via the router, apparently all the routers I have tried have borne no fruit. When we try in other offices, separately, the router work fine. I've tried new cabling to no avail. The led on the radio equipment are normal. Tafadhali naomba wana skunkers wanisaidie. Peter.

How's the last-mile integrated on your router? Is it configured on a full interface or sub-interface? On 5 June 2013 15:04, Peter Osotsi <peter.osotsi@gmail.com> wrote:

Confirm which negotiation mode your PC is using and configure the same on the router On Wed, Jun 5, 2013 at 3:25 PM, Michael Bullut <main@kipsang.com> wrote:

I wouldn't know what to do with the Alvarion but if u cant figure out the issue you can hook the alvarion to a linux box with 2 interfaces (inside/outside) and then configure the Linux box to act as a router and viola!! my 50 cents On Wed, Jun 5, 2013 at 3:42 PM, Abdallah Saidi <abdisaidi@gmail.com> wrote:

Osotsi, Please draw us a sketch of your network when you connect the PC and when you connect the router. Or let me make it simpler: When connected with the PC, show us the output of ipconfig. I am trying to establish if the IP assigned dynamically and what gateway you are assigned. You see, if the IDU is already acting as a router, cascading your router to it needs some thinking. You need to configure a static IP on your router's WAN interface (because some routers hate working with DHCP on their WAN). Remember you'll be having two level of NAT once you cascade so ensure that the IP subnet on your WAN is NOT the same class as the one your router dishes out via DHCP. If they are the same class/subnet, then there is no way your router will work! With that, I see no point why it shouldn't work. I can bet 3 beers on it working that way!

The radio has a static 10. blah blah blah and is live at the service provider. The IDU has static 41.84.150.30, subnet is 255.255.255.240, when I input these on the PC, works fine, the same on the router, the link isn't even live (does not blink), tried cross over patch cord, no response. DHCP dishes out via 192.168.0.1, with subnet 255.255.255.0 On 6/5/13, Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo@gmail.com> wrote:

@Peter It has been years since I worked in an ISP with Alvarions Is this the dumb IDU or the integrated router IDU? On Wed, Jun 5, 2013 at 4:37 PM, Peter Osotsi <peter.osotsi@gmail.com> wrote:

Since nobody has mentioned about the cabling. Let me.. in most cases you use crossover from the idu to pc. But straight cable to the router. On Jun 5, 2013 5:28 PM, "Peter Osotsi" <peter.osotsi@gmail.com> wrote:

This at a glance sounds and looks very easy. But since it is causing you grief, I can send in my techies to have this fixed at a small fee. They leave when it works. Let us take it offline.
