Hi,
I'm hoping you can help an apparent routing novice.
I have a W2K server running in my home behind a netgear router. DHCP, etc are turned off on the router and the W2K box provides those services. It provides addresses on a single subnet with (192.168.0.0) 192.168.0.1 as the router.
Recently, I bought a cheap USB wireless ethernet adapter. My goal is to have it act as a wireless access point. I have tried three methods to get it running:
1 - give it a 192.168.0.X ip address and assign the DHCP relay agent to run on both adapters.
2 - Turn on NAT on the router using 192.168.1.0 as the network and have it provide IP addresses. No luck.
3 - Give it a 192.168.1.1 ip address and use give the other wireless machine a fixed IP address.
In each case, I am able to ping the wireless adapter from another wireless computer (with appropriate fixed addresses)...however, I cannot ping the adapter on the other side of the router. I cannot get DHCP relay agent to work either.
What would be your recommendation be for how to set this up? If you could provide examples of static routes that should work, please let me know. I'm super frustrated right now and would greatly appreciate anyone's help, links, tips, etc.
Thanks,
Jason
P.S. As an aside, would it be a good idea to have this wireless adapter accept incoming vpn connections and route them to my internal network to give these packets increased encryption?
