RE: BT HomeHub Networking Woes

["Neil Ball" <neilball@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is it not time to retire the HH for something that will just work as
it is
supposed to? I've had to swap out a number of HH routers for customers
where
the HH just would not play nice (or plain work properly) with Sonos
installs
or home networks with more than a few PCs attached. I generally put Draytek
Vigor 2820Ns back, not cheap but damn reliable J

Hi Tim,

Just discovered something else about this....

My server is XP Pro, just fired up a couple of my XP Machines, one Pro one
Home and if I type "ping khan" both come back "pinging khan
192.168.0.4"

"Its fixed" I thought, so fired up laptop (Win 7 Pro)

Ping khan

Pinging khan.home 216.146.35.99 :(

But this was with a wireless connection.

Changed to a WIRED connection

Ping khan

Pinging khan.home 192.168.0.4 :)

Went back to Wifi and its still screwed. No idea what is causing it but it
doesn't seem to be the .home suffix causing the problem, but it does appear
to be the Wifi.

WTF ???????????????????????

Keith

I did notice when pinging machines that ".home" was
being appended - I don't remember this happening with the old router.
