Connecting Wireless Router to Wired Router

G

Guest

I am trying to setup a wireless network. Currently the internet connection
is coming in through a Draytek router. I have then got this connected via.
Ethernet to a Netgear WG624 Wireless Router. The Wireless Router is
connected directly to the computer by ethernet. Have set the DHCP to run
from the Draytek and not the Netgear and have set the IP on the DHCP on the
Draytek to 192.168.1.2 as Netgear suggests. I then gave the Netgear the IP
of 192.168.1.99

However, I am not able to get any of the computers onto the internet either
wired or wireless.

I am clearly doing something wrong and for around 3 hours I tried various
different things but I seem to be doing something fundamentally wrong.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to correct this ?

The wired machine is running Win XP
The wirless machines are running Vista.

Is that really all you think the problem is ??

Looks like he forgot to mention that you probably need a crossover cable,
not a standard patch cable, to make the connection from the wired router to
the wireless router.

I'd just about bet on it - the rest of the advice looks okay. A crossover
cable is not always necessary as some equipment has the ability to
automatically detect and switch configuration but when it is necessary it is
100% necessary.
