Is there anything odd or perculiar with the Webcontrol PLC ethernet interface?
I have a need to run multiple WC boards where I cannot run cables. I purchased a number of VONETS VAP11G ethernet to wifi bridges. Despite the obvious limitation that they need configured with windows first (hack, spit), I configured one and connected it to a WC board. The WC with VONETS associates to the WAP (which is currently about 2 feet away), I see the WC do DHCP request, I see DHCP reply go back to WC. But WC continues every second trying to do DHCP request. WC doesn't respond to pings or browser.
I figured the VONETS device was not working properly. Got another out, configured it, it behaves identically.
I reconfigured the WC board to use a static IP. The WAP can see the WC MAC address as associated, but it will not ping and I can not browse to it.
If I run an ethernet cable from one of the 10/100 ports on the WAP directly to the WC board, it works perfectly.
If I connect a "real" computer to the VONETS, the computer works perfectly too.
Anyone else tried this, done this, or got any ideas?
Edit: I've just tried the VONETS on another, different WC board incase it was one dodgy board. Identical results.
