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? -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
