You guys know how it is...visit that parents house for the Father's Day weekend spend your last day doing what? - That's right, troubleshooting networks.
Here's the deal:
We've got a Cisco Aironet 1200 Series AP upstairs with three systems connected to the network. Last night one of the systems -inexplicably- dropped the its internet connectivity. It can still connect to the Access Point, but cannot ping the AP or get to the AP's configuration screen. (Add to that fact I can't remember the passphrase for the AP - hey, it was one of those set it an forget it jobs. I know if involves dogs of some kind).
Anyways, I tried the typical "repair" and ipconfig /release /renew job. But what confuses me is that the computer still reports connected, when it has no real connectivity. Any help would be appreciated, for I feel that if I fail to troubleshoot their computer troubles I won't be welcome back for the fourth of July.
