Aloha,
I want to add a dhcp NetGear WPN824v3 wireless leg for 2 laptops (1 MS7
and 1 Ubuntu Linux) on my existing static IP lan of 10 desktops and
servers (all FreeBSD).
I run fixed IP on both segments now using 192.168.1.x addresses but
would like to have dhcp segment on the wireless side
Hi Al,
Give the wireless AP a static IP and create a scope that doesn't
interfere with what you are using for your desktops. So if your
desktops are all in the 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.120 range set the
dhcp server to only give out addresses that are not in that range. A
better idea
Jon, wouldn't that count as a separate LAN? What I've done in the past
is to use a dd-wrt capable router and set it to bridging mode so it
forwards requests on to the router on the main LAN. That would allow
you to set static IP's for the computers on wireless. Of course that
isn't exactly what Al

That is sort of what I have now. I want to make the wlan use DHCP to
hook onto these 2 laptops. By creating a vlan on the NetGear wireless
router like 192.168.1.100 /192.168.120 for instance.
I'm not sure of the way to do it on the NetGear wireless router. which
has 192.168.1.1 as its
