"error found on page" when adding lan clients

Post by tasso85 » Wed Apr 25, 2012 1:10 pm

Hi everybody,

I'm getting the error in the subject while trying to add a new lan client whose MAC is A8:E0:18:**:**:** (from a Nokia mobile phone) on my dlink G624T equipped with routertech firmware v2.97 (just updated!)

Strangely the MAC is accepted fine in the wireless access list configuration.

Any idea?

I have found that the seperator used in the MAC address is different in the 'lAN clients' section of the Advanced tab, and the 'Management' section of the Wireless tab.
LAN clients uses ":"
Management uses "-"
It catches me out each time I upgrade the firmware.
Is it a bug, or just something we need to be aware of?

Hope this helps.
Now son, this is the safe way to... ohh?

I already noticed that they use different separators for the MAC addresses in the two configurations, but I always used the proper separator in each section, and still I cannot enter that MAC in the "lan clients" configuration, so the problem is not the separator.

What else could it be?

Thanks, that answers the question, even if it is not the answer I was hoping for...
