This is starting to get infuriating. Tech guy came to fix the wimax because it wasn't getting any signal. At the moment the screamer modem thingy (alvarion) control panel is showing an almost full green bar as far as signal strength is concerned.

Yet I constantly get disconnected (even though the screamer connection remains "connected"), so all data stops coming through and pages time out. I have to disconnect and reconnect before pages start loading again. This would happen consistently every 10-20 seconds, although sometimes it stays on longer for a few minutes before losing connection.

What's going on? Do I need to use screamer-specific DNS server addresses? I can't find any.
 
Hey mcroffels,

i feel your pain.
ive also been having some issues connecting.

that i know of...the DNS IPs for Screamer:
172.17.0.159
172.17.0.161

i havnt been able to connect to Screamer since they did maintenance the night of 29-03-2010.
my wimax device says "searching" all the time now.

I phoned Screamer tech help and they told me to change the DNS IPs to the following:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
