Having a bit of a strange problem with a wireless connection I just setup. I have a 3com 7760 AP running in G mode, and have been running it for well over a year. It us up near a windows, and gives access to a couple of laptops and to another building across our property. Again, no complaints. I just added another building on the property to the network as well using a 3com Wireless LAN Workgroup Bridge. At first everything popped up perfectly.
Around an hour later, I tried logging into the Workgroup Bridge from the office, and I could not pull it up as I was able to do before. I went to the other building, and tried using the computer it was hooked up to. It had full internet access, full network access, and I could log into the bridge no problem. So I left it alone, went back to the main office, tried to log into the bridge again...nothing. I tried to ping its ip, nothing. So I went and reset the bridge. It connected up again right away, and everything worked in the remote building fine. At the main office, I was able to log into the bridge no problem. I waited around an hour again, and I could not log back into the bridge from the main office. I went back to the remote building again, and everything was great there, I just couldn't initiate any connections from the main office side of the connection, which I was able to do when the bridge initially connects to the AP.
I have gone through some of the settings, and I haven't been able to find any issue with anything as of yet. It seems normal.
Any help or thoughts are greatly appreciated.
EDIT: If I reboot my AP I am able to access the bridge from the office side, so it effectively accomplishes the same thing as rebooting the bridge. I am going to try and dig in the logs of the bridge to see if I can find something there. Any thoughts or ideas is greatly appreciated.
