I have a problem with wireless over the network bridge. Story goes
here...
There are 2 laptops (Win XP pro) I want to connect with LAN patch cable
in two different rooms... One laptop I need for wireless connection to
the ADSL router. And of couse, I want to share internet connection to
other. The other laptop cannot access wireles, because it's to far.
Also wireless is the only way to connect to ADSL router.
So, this laptop connects to the wireless fine, everything is working
ok. But when I create network bridge on that laptop with LAN and
wireless network included, it goes bad... Everything is connected fine,
says at network connections, but no internet now. IP adress of an
bridge is 169.254.x.x. Other computer (network adapter) also has IP
adress of that type. But it shoul be 192.168.2.x, according to Simens
SE555 ADSL router. And of course, internet is not founctional on both
computers... I also tried to manually assing IP of 192.168.2.x type to
both computers, but no help still. If I use some tool for searching IP
on the LAN, it sees these two computers, even there should be more
connected to the ADSL router (I see them when wireless is out from
bridge).
Am I missing somethning there? is there something more to configure?
wireless is unsecured network of open type with disabled
authentification. LAN between computers also doesn't requires
authentification... LAN is broadcom netExtreme, and wireless is Intel
on both.
So if there is some good soul to help, please, i'm deperate...
Thanx!
