Okay, so after a bit of tinkering and messing around I got the DC to connect to my PC's wifi via the PC DC Server method. Although it works great... I'tll only work for ~2 minutes before my wireless cuts out. I try to get my wifi working again and when I try to reconnect I get a error about "Clearing ARP Cache" has failed, after trying to clear it the manual way I still get no dice and the only other method is to restart the computer ( which then my net works! ) Anyone have any advice on this situation? Thanks for Everything, PSPdemon edit: To dig more into it I did arp -a and here are my results for before and after... Before: After: What would cause my wireless nic to become invalid and the physical address to null? also heres the message Thanks
Success! Okay, resolved my issue! I had to make my wireless nic static instead of dynamic. Now I have a new issue.... everything works great on this side and the net will hold for however long I want it to... PROBLEM!!! It disconnects my other computer that has a hardline hooked up to the router... any idea how to fix this? Do I have to fix the ARP table from dynamic to static on the other computer as well? Thanks!
ARP stands for Address Resolution Protocal. Its like DNS which maps a domain name (Example.com) to its IP (192.168.0.1). ARP does the same thing but it maps the IP (192.168.0.1) do the physical MAC address (12:34D:EE:AAD). What is sounds like is the PC-DC software is constantly spamming the network with ARP requests and filling the cache to the point where it knocks everything off the network. Because ARP is dynamic the only way around the issue is to set a static IP like you did on your first machine.
