Hello all. I am having a bit of a problem. I am trying to connect a computer in a separate part of the house with our DSL via a wireless connection.
.. this is the setup
I have our DSL coming in and going through the modem to a 4 port netgear hub. One patch cord goes from the hub to a wired computer (this works fine) The other patchcord goes to a wap54g wireless access point.
.. on the other end
There is a Wet54g network bridge plugged into the ethernet card on my PC (I am using the bridge because it just happened to be lying around at work)Even with the default settings I can't seem to get this thing to work. On the IP settings for the bridge what should I be using for a gateway, the IP of the access point? On the computer that the bridge is connected to what should I do with my network settings on the computer itself. DHCP.. and if so where in the world would it get an IP from? This is just a straight access point I'm using, not a router. Ah, I'm lost. I was able to enter the IP I set for the bridge on the wired computer once and I was actually able to get into the web config section - so they see eachother.. it just won't work?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
