Wired client cannot see wireless clients.

deckard — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 18:03:02 GMT

HP J8130A Wireless Access Point 420 running v2.2.5. All wireless clients can connect to my wired network, get a DHCP address from the router and connect to the web, etc.

However, none of the wired clients can see or even ping the wireless clients. Same gateway, same subnet.

Is there some setting in the AP that blocks the wireless clients from seeing the wired network? If so, is this enabled by default? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I have not read through all the documentation yet.

I have not changed anything other than the basic configuration and security.

Any info or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you! - Charles

Solved - Rebooted the AP. Wireless clients came right up. Go figure...

OK - Not Solved.

I reboot the WAP and everyone can see everyone for maybe a day or so. After that, I can no longer even ping any of the wireless clients from the same PC I'm using to manage the WAP (web interface). My router is giving out IP's and any clients can still get out to the web with no problem. But, running a local discovery tool like Look@LAN on my main PC will not see any of the IP's being given out by my router.

This is driving me nuts. I've searched the manuals and online forums to no avail.

Does anyone have any ideas? Could I have a faulty WAP?
