Hey Guys,


Basically what i am trying to do is connect two wireless networks...
One is a linksys WRT54G and the other is a DLink DI-524... The linksys
router has the internet connection and i would like to use my laptop
(which has a wireless network card and an ethernet port) to bridge the
two networks. The two routers are on different floors and i do not want
to span a patch cable to connect the two... Could i use my wireless
network card to connect to the linksys and connect my ethernet port (on
my pc) to the Dlink? Would this give the Dlink router (and all computers attached to it) internet? Basically i want my computer to bridge the two networks... If this
is possible, is there anything special that i need to do in order to
achieve this? Do I need any special software?
Thanks a lot!!


-Chris


P.S: If you guys dont get what i'm talking about here, i can always
email you a diagram...

Do i have to make any changes on the dlink router??
THANKS A LOT!!

you have no idea how grateful i am for ur help, dude!!
thanks a bunch!
