Re: [Wirelessdriver-support] Orinoco Gold + WallStreet PB + 10.2.3 + AirportExtreme = no go?

Marc -

Thanks for the reply.  The address is definitely of the 169.x.x.x 
variety....curses.

I tried filling in the "DHCP Client ID (optional)" field.  
Unfortunately, I got the same result.

Any other thoughts?

Has anyone else seen similar problems with this type of setup?  The 
Orinoco Gold + Wallstreet PB worked great with my old Airport Base 
Station (dual ethernet), the only difference with the new setup is the 
Airport Extreme base station.  From time to time in the past with the 
old Airport Base Station, this PB would self-assign itself a 169.x.x.x 
address.  I used to be able to disable and enable the interface to fix 
the problem.  Such steps don't seem to make a difference now.

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

PJT
