Any successes with Belkin Wireless Access Point?

[Garvin Haslett]

I've now configured the the clients as such:

client 172.16.0.0/16 {
	secret		= testing123
	shortname	= belkin-at-garvin
}

The IP address of the network card on my Windows machine is 172.16.1.1.
While the corresponding value for the Access point is 172.16.1.2.
Subnet masks in both cases is 255.255.0.0

However, still no sign of traffic destined for the Radius server.

Garvin.

XP won't route to APIPA address. Make a /30 network in a different
private IP range. Or you can switch on Internet Connection sharing on
XP, NIC wil be fixed to 192.168.0.1 and it will behave like a
mini-router (DHCP etc.). Just fix the IP address on AP (so you have a
single address in clients.conf) and leave the rest on automatic.
