Time today permits working on this again.

I'm endeavoring to set up a WRT54G ver. 6 as a wireless access point. 
Using my laptop, I have connected its wired Ethernet port to one of the 
4 ports on the back of the WRT54G and logged in to the WRT54G's 
administration page.

On the Setup tab. The first section is for Internet Setup. Here, I have 
chosen to use a Static IP of 192.168.0.250, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0, 
and a gateway of 192.168.0.1, which is the LAN IP address if my Netgear 
router. In the Optional Settings section I have given the WRT54G a 
Router Name of BsmtRtr.

The next section is Network Setup. I've assigned the WRT54G the IP 
address of 192.168.0.251 and have set the Subnet Mask set to 255.255.255.0.

When I try to save those settings I get an error message that says:

The WAN IP address is same with the LAN IP address! Please check them again!

Aren't 192.168.0.250 and 192.168.0.251 different?

Am I missing something fundamental here?
