Hey Gang, I have a wireless 802.11g network connected to a wired PC (Ethernet).
My SpeedStream 5660 DSL router connects through a LAN port to my Netgear Wireless Router (WGR614); the WAN port is not in use. Another LAN port connects an Ethernet cable to my PC running Windows 98se. I connect to the wireless router's antenna with my laptop running XP Pro using a Netgear WG511 pc card, which is 802.11g. DHCP server is enabled in the SpeedStream and disabled on the Netgear. I have assigned a LAN IP to the wireless router of 10.0.2.1. The Address of the SpeedStream is 10.0.0.1 and it assigns dynamic private IPs for everything. I can connect to the Internet fine with either the wired desktop or the wireless laptop. By using NetBEUI I can see each computer with the other and share files etc with no problem. I tried and tried and tried to get both computers to see each other and to share using TCP/IP instead of NetBEUI but it wouldn't work. I did not have NetBEUI installed at all on either machine when trying to do this. Oh, and when I have almost had it working, I end up seeing a bridge connection in my network connections on the XP machine. But when I reboot the laptop no longer connects to the Internet. In any case, this hasn't taken me all the way because only the desktop sees and gets into the laptop. The laptop can never see or get into the desktop with this setup. Should the wireless router be the bridge if one is needed here or how do I solve this? How do I get the machines to see each other and share using TCP/IP instead of NetBEUI? -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
