Hi Again,
Just a few updates.
Client has been able to connect, intermittently.. he has said things like "I'm not sure what I did.. but I got it working.." but after a reboot he's back to the same thing.
I'm pointing the finger at Windows7 - I've not had any issues with other OS's and can't imagine how any part of the Mikrotik / Routerboard hardware could be at fault.. but I'm hoping someone here may have some words of wisdom for me!
So far, here is what I've tried.
* Had the client disable IPV6 completely in Win7 (From the Network Interface panel and also a Reg key tweek) - no joy.
* Checked the RB for IPV6, but the V6 package is not installed.
* Checked the Radio modes (System was set to 802.11b only.. changed to b/g)
* Googled the heck out of this, found lots of unhelpful Windows articles that say things like "your router may be too old to support Windows7 - refer to list of Windows supported hardware"
The guy I am dealing with is the man who owns the place, so he can see sense that it's a windows7 issue.. but I can't tell other clients to "Use XP, Windows 7 sucks" etc, etc.
Thanks in advance,
Kind Regards,
Nigel.
Greetings!
I'm having a similar issue in that a client is unable to connect to the AP using Windows 7...
It appears he can connect to the AP but receives no IP address from the DHCP server..
Whereas his Wife (Using a Windows XP machine) can connect and use the AP perfectly.. I'm also able to connect using my Android mobile and my Macbook pro!
Looking at his ipconfig (well at least a screenshot) Windows 7 is talking IPV6 and putting (preferred) next to the address, so I'm guessing this could be my issue. (The system is V4 only)
Only problem is I can't figure out where to disable V6 or if even it's enabled on the Routerboard.. any help would be appriciated but other than that I'm RTFM!
Cheers!
