Raw message 

Hi JB

I had a similar problem with a previous hotspot ATM and Windows Vista clients. The issue was actually a known Vista bug, to do with the "DHCP Broadcast flag" in the registry. This is resolved by applying a patch from MS, or manually tweaking the registry.
A quick google search on the same issue for win 7 indicates that it is still a fairly widespread issue with win 7 clients.

Check out the following link for more info:

The next link makes reference to a cisco-related issue with a possible solution:

I hope this helps.

Tim S.

hi tim,

we're using cisco home wireless routers with dhcp disabled...windows xp clients can
connect successfully..the grase server has been working for us for more than 3 months
now and this is the first time that we encountered this problem.

i set my primary dns in /etc/resolv.conf...im using ubuntu 10.10 server edition..i have not
edited /etc/chilli/config...but i checked the config, this is the entry:

# OpenDNS Servers
#HS_DNS1=208.67.222.222
HS_DNS2=208.67.220.220
HS_DNS1=10.1.0.1


what could be the error with this?

thank you,

jb

I'll be releasing some changes shortly that force the clients to all use 10.1.0.1 which will be the hotspot, which will have dnsmasq on it and they you can configure dnsmasq to point to the right name servers. When you say you have set primary dns to opendns, where have you set that? If you change it in /etc/chilli/config it should hand them out via dhcp correctly.
