Re: "UPDATE" DHCP on Z5 Problem
I doubt the 3Com nic has anything to do with the problem. The DHCP bug is present in both Z-5 & Z-35 (firmware 3.64 and later) and in the P653-H (V3.40(OA.4)).
Every day I am typing "ipconfig /release" and "ipconfig /renew" regardless of the laptop I'm using (Dell D600, IBM Thinkpad T23 or Thinkpad X40).
My P653 and Z5 have a different internal subnet for the LAN segment and whenever I switch between the two I have to do the ipconfig thing on every single machine in the house, with nic's ranging from Intel's Pro 10/100 to Etherlink III and Broadcom's gigabit cards.
I am generally a very satisfied Zyxel customer, but the fact that this stupid issue had now been around for 6-10 months is really getting on my nerves ! Rather than getting this resolved it seems to be spreading to every device for which Zyxel releases a new firmware !
Especially on the Prestige 653 series that is frustrating, because the 3.4 0A.4 firmware introduces the DHCP bug and doubles the nr of VPN tunnels (and adds support for certificates, DMZ and static DHCP) at the same time... |
