I have a desktop computer connected to my wifi via a Linksys WES610N wireless ethernet bridge.
- Currently the bridge is assigned the IP address 10.0.0.6.
The desktop is assigned the IP address 10.0.0.15.
The DHCP client table on my Netgear router sees 10.0.0.6 (the wireless ethernet bridge and its corresponding MAC address)
- The router does not list 10.0.0.15 (the desktop IP address) or its MAC
- My desktop has a DHCP lease (according to ipconfig /all) that is good until sometime tomorrow.
- Since my router is the only DHCP server on my network, I can only assume that it is issuing the ip address.
I've hunted through forum posts and documentation but I cannot figure out if the WES610N does something funky to DHCP when it bridges the connection.
I am trying to host a LAN game and even with the firewall down and antivirus disabled no one can ping me. I can ping the gateway, reach the internet and even join a game hosted on a different system on my LAN. It seems that no one can find me on my network.
