We have several laptops running Redhat 9 using Linksys 802.11b cards, and
Cisco 1200 series APs. We've found that to access networks beyond our
local subnet, we must configure the default gateway on the laptop to be the
IP address of the local wireless interface, and NOT the address of the
router for the subnet the laptop is on (as one normally would). Note that
w/o the default gw configured we can still ping hosts on the same subnet (of
course).
Why would we be having such a problem? If I bring my laptop home and
configure the default gateway to be the IP address of my small router, it
works fine. I'm wondering if it could be a config issue on the Cisco AP at
work?
