Ip addresses in Wireless network

S

Sten

I have configured a lot of wireless networks using Win XP, so I think I know
what I'm doing. Now Vista got me confused. Ususally the ISP provides an IP
adress for the routers "outside" and the router will have an internal DHCP
that provides internal addresses. Vista, however, somehow manages to get an
address from the ISP:s DHCP server! How is this possible? It also creates
problems when trying to connect to the router via the web browser.

To clarify: when connected to the internet via the wireless router, the IP
address and domain is provided by my ISP. I want it to be provided by my
router.
