[QUOTE="kilohurtz, post: 1059686, member: 69718"] [b]I finally figured it all out[/b] Ok I finally got it working..................... I have a domain that uses a 169.254.56.* subnet. My router uses 169.254.56.152 which has a DHCP scope of 169.254.56.200 - 169.254.56.250 Although the ipad was getting a correct IP Address as being served by my router for some reason the IP Address of the iPad doesnt work for me using a 169.254.56.* address. So when it joined my wireless network and got a 169.254.56.* DHCP address I change the IP Address details to static giving the iPad an IP Address of 10.0.0.1 yet keeping all the other addresses the same to match my network config. 10.0.0.1 (iPad IP Address) 169.254.56.152 (My Internet Routers IP Address) 255.255.255.0 Subnet Mask 169.254.56.5 (DNS Server from my Windows 22003 server) and everything is working 100% Its funny how the ipad needs to have this configuration when all other wireless devices and all my other apple products are happy being served a 169.254.56.* DHCP address. So thank you for the help guys, and I hope that the above might help others with the same problem as I have had. And now that I have got this works, it also works on my existing wirelss router and access points. Thanks Mr Apple saleman for getting me to waste £142.00 on an Airport Extreme that you said I needed to have when infact, I DIDNT......... I guess I now have wireless N and a dual band router so I guess its not all bad. he he Peace my brothers........... [/QUOTE]
