Hello, You are trying to setup a Point-To-Point link and bridge the two networks. There are a few ways to accomplish this, OR software from ORiNOCO, Karlnet software (manufacturer's of Apple firmware and more), or the cheaper way which is to use a client card in a PC as a receiver and re-broadcast using the 2nd AP-500. I'm doing this on my node by using a RG- 1000 on one side and on the other side, a Yagi connected to a client card receiver in a PC and another RG-1000 to make that side wireless.
A Text Diagram of My Network ---------------------------- Wired Network <-Wire-> A (RG-1000) <-Air Being Bridged-> B (ORiNOCO w/Yagi in a PC with an ethernet NIC serving IPs) <-Wire-> C (RG-1000) <-> More wireless clients.
