I seem to be having a problem letting the customers in my cafe access my wireless network for internet. I'm running Small Business Server 2003 with a Linksys WRT54Gs wireless router. My wireless clients can access the connection but they can not access internet unless they change the gateway to 192.168.1.1. I'm using a DSL line which stores the internet connection setting in the DSL modem and I set the linksys router to use PPOE and I turned on DHCP in the router. Clients in the office are all logging into the server and have static IP addresses. When a customer tries to access the wireless system and access internet my linksys router assigns them a gateway of 192.168.1.101 which is one of the network cards in the server. I want the linksys router to assign them the gateway of 192.168.1.1 so they can get internet. Customers in the cafe can not get internet using the gateway of 192.168.1.101 because they are not a user on the server. Anyone have any ideas?

I got it. It seems I just needed to right click the wireless network connection on the laptop I was using to test and click repair. Therefore the above configuration works great. The only item I left out was that I assigned the Linksys router to use DHCP range of 192.168.1.200-255 and my employees logging in use 192.168.1.1-199.
