Your AP have a configuration page, go to it and disable DHCP.
Your AP will get an IP from your router...
Good Luck
Hi,can you help me?
I need to connect an existing wired LAN to a wireless laptop via an access point.
Here is the setup. I have 3 desktops on an ethernet LAN (all XP, Local Area Connection, sharing files, printers, etc. They connect thru a netgear cable internet router connected by ethernet cables. It works fine for accessing files from one computer to another on the network,as well as all computers connect to the net.
Today I bought a laptop computer and a wireless access point (DLINK 2100 AP). I set it up to access the internet thru the router (using the remaining ethernet port) and have no problem with internet access.
Question: how can I get the wireless and the wired computers to see each other the way it is on the existing LAN?
It seems that the wireless network (with only the laptop) is completely independent of the existing ane the existing computers don't see the DLINK as an item on the LAN.
Is there a way to get the existing LAN to connect with the wireless computer?
Thanks
