I am trying to connect a Linksys wireless router to an existing Motorola Surfboard SB5100 Cable modem in order to use wireless.
I have connected the Ethernet port on the Motorola to the first Ethernet port of the "LAN" ports, like connecting two hubs. If I connect my PC to second Ethernet port on the Linksys the internet connection works fine - proving that the connection between the two are fine. My PC is given my DSL IP address, 84.x.x.x
When I connect via wireless to the Linksys I cannot use the internet; this might be due to the fact that the wireless card is provided an internal 192.168.x.x address provided by the router, and not the public IP address.
What do I need to do to make this work? Maybe I need to create a static route between the 192.168.x and 84.x networks on the linksys?
Any help would be appreciated. Hutton
