Re: HELP - can reach ISP through cable, not through wireless ?

Sorry Jeff, I posted my previous message too early by accident and sent a
fixed one. This morning I notice that it never got to the server.
I also see that I missed one word in the sentence below:

> > - although DHCP on the wireless router was
> >there was no way to convince the wireless client to get settings
> >automatically from DHCP on the Sitecom.

and that was the word "off". During all this testing the DHCP server in the
wireless router was off.
You see, when I connect the same client to the wireless router through a
cable/network card instead of a wireless card all goes well. The client then
gets all settings automatically from the sitecom router. The wireless router
indeed then works nicely as AP. For some reason I need to manually assign
everything when going wireless on this router.

I will search for and read your posts on converting a wireless router into
an AP tonight. In the mean time I have a working setup.

Many thanks again,

BN
