Hi Ulli I'm using 15.2 - should have mentioned that

I can access the internet in DHCP manual mode through either mini browser or the web browser but only once when the router cache is completely cleared can I use dynamic DHCP mode. The reason for everyone's problems I believe is that when the PB302 does DHCP discovery a lease time of 0 is stored in the DHCP server. I'm not sure why this is because all my other devices are granted a lease time of around a 12-24 hours. There must be something wrong with the way the PB302 registers with the server but I haven't had the time to put a wireshark trace on it and look at the details.

Once you have a 0 lease time any further discovery requests come back with a failure and you can no longer use dynamic DHCP on the 302 but you can still acess the internet if you work in manual mode and this is the workaround that others have resorted to I believe. Again I think this is probably an issue with the PB302 because it should re-request a lease refresh in such cases.

On the bookland story, that application seems like it always does a DHCP discovery even when the preferred connection is set to DHCP manual and I believe that's why it doesn't work most of the time.

I can access bookland.net directly through my browser when the dedicated bookland application is unable to connect but it comes in at the root of the website and the layout is messed up.
