I am having some configuration issues with hooking up a wireless client
to a windows XP pro machine. I have a Belkin N router in a location
hooked to the internet. It works fine locally.
I have a remote XP PRO machine i am trying to wirelessly hook to this
network. I have two access points. One is a small USB unit that is more
or less plug and play. It is DHCP and does work ok. I just cannot move
it far from the machine using the USB cable.
The other access point is a linksys WAP-54G. I cannot get his unit to
get internet off the Belkin wirelessly. On the same machine the USB
access point works. The WAP54 has a single ethernet port which connects
to my XP machines ethernet port
What i did was set the XP Ethernet port to 192.168.1.1
The stock address on the wap is 192.168.1.245.
I can open up the configuration in a browser windows.
I can do a site search and find the Belkin. I can select the belkin
for the connection. I just cannot get
the internet to work wirelessly on the XP machine using the WAP54 for
some reason.
I think this has something to do with the static IP settings on the XP
machine. I used 192.168.1.1 for address and gateway, 255.255.255.0.
When i set the static IP in the XP machine, it does not allow a
automatic DNS. Do i need to set the DNS settings on the XP machines
ethernet ports? What am i doing wrong here to get the WAP54 to
pick up internet from the belkin router?
