You are almost there. As far as I understand from your requirements you should have the 900AP+ in client mode connected to a switch.
The default route fro any PC should not be the AP's IP number but rather a router on you network (DSL line). It is quite common that the role of the IP's of the wireless devices are misunderstood. The devices work as bridges from the PC's point of view while the IP addresses for the wirelessdevices are for management only. The AP can not route, thats why you can't ping. /Lars ----- Original Message ----- From: "milan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, June 29, 2003 2:19 AM Subject: [BAWUG] extending home wireless network to wired lan > Hi, > > I'm having troubles trying to extend my wireless network at home. I have a linksys BEFW11S4 as my wireless AP connected to my dsl modem. everything works fine but now i have a problem because i want to connect two (or more) computers with only wired interfaces to this network. I would rather get one wireless device (connected to a switch) that can route wired ethernet rather than get a wireless interface for each machine. i'm not sure what to call this device. so i talked to a dlink guy and he said i needed a repeater. so i ordered the DWL-900AP+ (with repeater mode) and i tried the repeater but it didn't work. of course dlink can't guarrantee d-link to work with linksys but i took a chance, but no luck. so before i go any further i thought i'd post this question. any ideas? I'm beginning to think that a repeater is not what i need. i hope this is appropriate to this list. > > thanks, > Milan > -- > general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> > [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless > > -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
