hello,
im not sure how/where to troubleshoot . default the broadcast-filter ARP option in stateful firewall options is disabled and not checked. also in the VAP option "drop broadcast multicast traffic" is also not checked.
i have one VAP with some plain wpa2-psk network accessing as "authenticated" role in some corporate network. while having those 2 options active , bonjour protocol which is used by messengers like pidgin cant be used for wifi clients which are connected to this VAP wifi .
if i disable and get those 2 options back to "default" values 2 clients in this wifi network which are domain members have sporadic issues to connect to corporate fileshare server or exchange and several laggy connection problems are issueing on them.
i have 2 other notebook clients with intel proset and latest wifi drivers which dont have those issues, but those 2 clients arent members of the domain. also there are no special domain settings where traffic is restricted or something.
the funny thing here is : if i re-enable (and therefore DROP broadcasts again) the option in the VAP again then those 2 problem clients dont have issues again with fileshare/smb/exchange access. also this problem is not static it only appears "sometimes". im not sure where to troubleshoot here.
additonal info : i kept the opton "broadcast filter ARP" always checked during the temporary disable of the VAP option "drop broadcast". i dont think that's important to disable this option too.
anyone else experiencing or had experiencing such issues ?
there's no proxy actice, just a plain wp2-psk network accessing corporate network without any firewall restrictions , clients/controller/exchange/fileserver are all in the same subnet.
regards
ben
