Thread: Network issue over wireless point to point

i have strange issue.

have setup wireless point-to-point (ptp) 1/4 mile. it's working, tested mac in windows computers.

problem 2 different computers running ubuntu 8.04 , ubuntu 8.10. computer not acquire ip lease dhcp. have tried setup fixed ip without success either. both of these machines work if on site connected directly lan. both worked on ptp when setup in warehouse (just yards away each end).

question? what's going on? ideas appreciated.

thinking in current setup takes longer tcp packets receive replay dropped. there way play timeout issues. hardware dependent or kernel dependent?

thank you,

i dont know if relevant , have seen issues in past mtu sizes have caused problem tunneling.

there older bugs in hardy people using tunneling set mtu size in nm gui, , not reflected in actual mtu.

im wondering if looking @ mtu size in use mac , comparing using ubuntu client, , altering may out?

feeling may need wireshark tracing on either end see if tcp related issue
