Line Up and Wait
So, I'm spending this semester studying abroad in Italy with 19 other people.
One of the apartments has an ethernet connection, but it's a bit strange. The plug on the wall has an electric line that needs to be plugged in for it to work. As long as everything is plugged in, the system works as expected.
Until I tried to hook up a wireless router, that is. While any computer connected to the wall gets an IP address via DHCP just fine, the wireless router does not. I've tried the router in both gateway and router mode, both to no avail. Giving the router a static IP in the same addressing scheme doesn't work either.
I'm beginning to think that there's something different in the way this network works that isn't letting me use a router. Does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing?
