Hi,

I am sitting with a bit of a technical problem and I do not know how to go about it to correct it or work around it.

I have a DLink DSL2500U, a Netgear WG102 and a aptop with built in Intel Pro wireless 3945.

I setup the DSL2500 router to function in bridge mode in order to have the authentication specs sit on my machine. The result is that I am able to route local and international bandwidth seperately (which is vastly different in price in South Africa) to the appropriate place.

But I need to setup this network with the wireless WG102 as a wire is very inconvenient.

What settings do I need to activate on the wireless AP to get this to work? The Netgear WG102 has point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and repeater modes, but I do not know the implication of each of these and from what I can see I am not sure whether my laptop will be able to connect to any of these bridged settings resulting in a wireless connection through the wireless AP to the bridged router.

Please help as I am struggling with this small little setup. Both of the devices (DLink and Netgear) have a reasonable amount of settings but I do not know how to further set it up.

Thanks so much in advance, I would really appreciate help on this one.

Pretty much same issue.

Client has a WG602 WAP. Need to configure this page: http://tools.netgear.com/landing/gui...bin/index.html

Looking for SBS 2008 to provide DHCP to clients through WAP as described in a similar article: http://techrepublic.com.com/5208-623...ontent;leftCol

Apparently bridging is teh way to go. With not much to configure on the Netgear screen, suspect second option with remote MAC address being the SBS 2008 internal MAC?

EDIT: Sorry for hijacking your thread. Been thinking and I think it's a non-issue (my problem). I don't think it matters if the Access point provides it's own IP addresses or the server as wireless clients connected to the AP should still have access to server/network resources.

Truthfully, I think one DHCP server is the answer. I'd have the WAP providing a bridging function, and not handing out IP addresses.
