Hi guys,
I am in the Armed Forces and access the internet through a wireless network.
The network setup is unkown to me other than to say that the company running
it uses nodes in each building and one big wireless antenna in the centre of
our camp. If I connect both my desktop and my laptop to the wireless
network they cannot ping or see each other.
To solve this I have introduced a wired network into the equasion. This is
just between my laptop and desktop computer and involves both systems being
connected via an ethernet switch.
I am experiencing difficulties in getting this setup to work properly. I
obviously set a dynamic IP address for the wireless connection and a static
private address for the wired network. Both network connections seem to
establish with no problems but I cannot access the internet. If I disable
the wired network then the wireless one works fine; they just don't seem to
want to work together and I can't work out why.
I have tried bridging the connections but to no avail and really can't think
of another way round this. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Ady
