Thread: IP finding issues with Wimax

Hi Friends,
I connect to my Wimax connection from both Windows XP and Linux.
Overall, the connection status is not very satisfactory. Most of the time, the issue is with finding the proper IP 124.125..... to be connected. whenever it manages to find this IP, I get a pretty good connection.
But since last 1-2 days, I'm facing a strange problem. I tried so many times, but I'm not able to get the IP in Windows. Even if it does get rarely, it loses the IP automatically after a few minutes.
But in Linux, I can get the IP immediately and it stays fine too.
I've launched a complain with the CC as well, but I don't trust their expertise anyway.
Within windows, I tried all possible ways like ipconfig /release and /renew; disabling & enabling the network interface; switching off & on the POE unit and restarting the system many times. But to no avail. All I get is "Limited or No connectivity" with an IP such as 169.254.... (Dunno where it comes from)
Its evident that there is something wrong with windows, as the connection is perfectly fine with Linux.

Can someone please help me locate and solve the real problem in windows?

Btw, I've also tried this trick:

if u using reliance wi-max then check this out.,

1]

go to .,
start > control panel > network connections > then goto properties of the local area connection (ur lan card properties) > click on internet protocol (tcp/ip) > properties > and set the static ip 192.168.1.22 in use the following ip address dialog box.


2]

now start ur lan connection ., by right click on it and select enable.


3]

now go to
start > run > cmd [press ok]

4]

now type there
c:\> telnet 192.168.1.1 if it fails then telnet 192.168.0.1

now u should have shell .,

asking for
username and password.,
enter
username : support
password : support


5]

now u have access to their server via telnet then type

sh bs[hit enter]

it will show u something useful data.



like signal strength and frequency.,

so move ur antenna if u getting weak signal slightly.,
and again type

sh bs

u will notice some changes their., do this procedure till u get high signal.,

each time u move ur antenna give again command sh bs [enter]

tell me what happens .,at ur side.,

also after all this done again set all to ur original conditions.

and I get an uplink of around 24.5 and downlink of around -50 to -51. I believe these are pretty good values.
