Win2k networking issue Part I

by smicale . Updated 25 years, 2 months ago

Ok everyone, I need help with this one, because I swear this is the weirdest
thing I have ever seen. I have three different networks setup for our corp and I
am having a problem accessing one of the networks from a my new Dell 8000
laptop. Iam running Windows 2000 Pro with an Intel 10/100 NIC. Here is the
senerio of how my network is setup.
I have my three different locations and we are all connected via wireless
antenna’s from Aironet, which was bought out by Cisco. The Bridge at this
location is 192.168.1.254. Everyone that is at site A is on the network using IP
scheme of 192.168.1.???. Site B has a Bridge on it and its IP is 192.168.2.254.
Everyone on that network has an IP scheme of 192.168.2.???. Site C is setup with
a Bridge and its IP is 192.168.3.254. Again everyone on that networks IP scheme
is 192.168.3.???. The subnet for all sites is 255.255.0.0. Our gateway is
192.168.254.1, but it should not matter at all for this problem.
Ok here is my dilema. From Site A I can ping every machine in Site A. I can
ping the bridge at site A and I can ping the bridge at Site B. I can not though
ping any machines at site be. I can ping the bridge at site C, along with all
the machines atsite C. If I disable my internal NIC on this laptop and insert
my Symbol 2MB Wireless card I can ping Site B and all its machines. The Symbol
Access Point I have setup internally in Site A is connected to the backbone of
site A. Nothing is different except for the speeds on the NIC cards
