Doug,<BR>
Your suggestion of changing the DHCP range on my Verizon Jetpack
did the trick! Now, it switches wifi's and announces the correct
IP addresses. The DHCP ranges for my home wifi and the Jetpack
wifi were too close and fell within each others ranges. Now, it
works just great! TNX so much for your great help and assistance!<BR>
One other question I have about using mobile hotspots, etc. I've
noticed that if the cell quality (strength) drops to 3G or below,
my Allstar mobile node won't work. It seems that it only works
when the signals are 4G strength. Have you or anyone else on here
ever run into this situation? Just curious.<BR>
TNX agn for all the help. I'm trying to learn more about FSQ
using FLDigi now. I heard you and a few others on there but, have
never made the "jump" yet. I may have some questions for you on
that subject some day too.<BR>
Take care and hope to chat with you agn soon.<BR>

<div dir="ltr"><font style="" color="#000000" face="Tahoma,sans-serif">Just a point because this has caused some
confusion with some users. If you use the DTMF wireless
switching script from the hamvoip.org howto's and/or you
switch wireless access points in some other way there is a
possibility that your DHCP assigned IP address may remain the
same when switching from a home wifi to a cell hotspot. This
is not a problem but here is an explanation why this happens.<br>
<br>
This would generally happen when the hotspot device has the
same dhcp range as your home wifi, for instance 192.168.1.x <br>
<br>
Verizon jetpack or MIFI hotspots often use the 192.168.1.x
range. <br>
<br>
When restarting with the new hotspot the dhcp client asks for
the same IP it is currently assigned and if it is available
from the server it would remain the same confusing you that it
did not really switch from one hotspot to the other.<br>
<br>
I do not have one of these devices but in cases where it is on
the same subnet you could possibly through a web page login to
the device and change the dhcp address range to something like
- 192.168.40.x - then you will know from the spoken IP when
you change hotspots that it is actually on the device you
want. <br>
<br>
There is no requirement that you do this. When using the DTMF
switching script and the integrity of the script and files it
calls is not in question there is no possibility you would be
on the wrong hotspot even though it is the same local IP. The
wpa_supplicant file would ONLY have the ssid and passphrase of
the hotspot you select and could not be connected elsewhere.<br id="ecxFontBreak">
