Browse All TopicsI installed a wireless LAN bridge a while ago between a main office and a remote building, using 2 Buffalo wireless routers in bridge mode. The bridged side router provides DHCP (range 192.168.11.1 - 192.168.11.254) for the workstations on the bridged side. Up until now everything has worked well. Any workstation on the bridged side is able to authenticate to the DCs and they can access any of the server based applications.
I am attempting to network a Pelco DX 4000 DVR with survielllance cameras installed at the remote building so they can be monitored by staff at the main building. I set up the DVR with a static IP (192.168.11.94) and I am able to pull up the web based interface on any computer on the bridged side. However, if I try to access the DVR from the primary LAN segment I am not able to ping the DVR, nor access any node on the 192.168.11.xxx segment.
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but at this point I'm not sure what it is.

You may also run into an IP conflict at some point. Your DHCP range is 192.168.11.1 through 192.168.11.254 and yet you have a static of 192.168.11.94 that is whithin the DHCP range. You may want to change the range to 192.168.11.11 through 192.168.11.254 so that you will have a reserve of IP's for static.
I have a DVR (same model). The OS the DVR uses Windows XP Pro:
With SP2, that comes with Windows Firewall. Windows Firewall blocks ICMP echos as well as Netbios traffic.
Temporarily disable Windows firewall and see if you can ping.
The DVR also uses Netbios a lot. Netbios is not routable. This means it will not go through a VPN tunnel, across NAT, to different subnets... You need an LMhost file configured on both the PDCe and the DVR, or a wins connection between the two.

I want to thank all of you that offered a solution to my problem. All of your suggestions caused my more in depth assessment of the issue. As it turned out the imbedded firewall in the Buffalo router was blocking all inbound traffic from the .1 subnet to the .11 subnet . Given that I could find no method in the router interface to manage the firewall I elected to flatten the network to only .1 addresses by putting both routers in bridge mode.
Now I have to figure out how I'm going to manage these two "bridges" since I seem to have lost access to the router interface.

you need a route on the lan side as it doesnt know how to get to the .11 subnet - it needs to say that if you want to get to the .11 subnet to go to the LAN side IP of the wireless
you can do this manualy on each workstation with the route add command
or you may be able to add a route to your LAN side gateway
