Wireless clients connection

2006/05/14 filed under /personal

For a while I have been trying to get my WiFi network to function properly. My setup is like this.


                             [ SERVER ]
                            /
[ INTERNET ] - [ ROUTER ] -+ 
                            \ 
                             [ DWL-2000AP+ ]
                                   |
                                  / \
                           [ WIRELESS CLIENTS ]

For some obscure reason, all wireless clients were able to access the internet and server, yet there was no way they would talk to each other. Pinging them even failed, yet a tcpdump did show me packets between the internet and other wireless clients.

After many hours of online searching and consulting Joffie, I went to my cousin (RedDevil) who usually knows a lot on Win32 systems, WiFi, Xbox-related stuff and other gadgets. He suggested I'd look for a setting on the D-Link DWL-2000AP+ called "Set AP Isolated". Of course that setting was not available, yet I did find an "undocumented" setting called Client security under Advanced / Performance. Disabling this worked like a charm. Ping requests were answered in no time and everything now works as it's supposed to be (or better: as I like to see it).
