Hi there:
here's my setup which worked fine for the first 4 months and now not sure what changed but things have gone a bit awry!
My ADSL Router (D-LINK DSL 300G) is connected to my Linksys (WRT54G) wireless router. I have then got a cable that runs from this wireless router to a BEFSR41 Linkysys router (my work gave me this, and insisted that I use this, and not the wireless router for my connection)
I have 2 laptops and two desktop computers. One desktop computer is connected directly to the wireless router, while the other is connected to the BEFSR41 router.
The problem is that I am using the "automatic DHCP" setup on my wireless networks. And the computers end up fighting for the same IP address. Also for some reason each time I close the lid on my laptop, and open it again, it loses the nwtwork connection and I have to disable and re-enable the wireless connection for it to work again (even thought it constantly tell me that everything is fine, and the connection is 'excellent'). If I try assigning fixed IP addresses on each laptop, they continue to have an 'excellent connection' but I cannot browse the internet or do a ipconfig....
I am running windows xp on both desktops and on one laptop. the other is a Mac OSX Tiger.
I am really frustrated and hope I have provided all the details necessary for someone to come to my rescue!
Thanks,
Jessica.
