Raw message 

Tim,

   I know repeater is not recommended, but since still faster than my
broadband and is what i have available, is my only option for now..

The computer connected to the repeater it gets the ip address from the
grase server.
i can access the access point and i can also access the repeater setup
I can't access the grase server, i tried doing a ping, it gives me
destination unreachable.. Thought it could've been something with the
router but same problem with same configuration and a different router...
if i do the configuration using router with dhcp disable connected to a
regular wired router, then the repeater has no problem. So i do not know
exactl y what is causing this.. I guess is something in the hotspot.. but i
can't think of what. Because, in order for DHCP to give ip address it
should be able to get the mac address of the client, right?... also i See
under status that the tun0 virtual interface does not have a mac addresss,
I do not know if this has something to do with my problem..

Anyway will keep trying and see what else i can troubleshoot. .if anyone
knows anything else, would be great.
