Use a linksys wap54g as a wireless card?

Is it possible to use a wap54g wireless access point plugged into an ethernet card on a computer to connect to a wireless router? How would I do this?

When I connect a network cable to the wap from my pc and try to connect to the wap using 192.168.1.245 it does not work. I tried resetting... do I have to configure something before I can connect to the WAP in this way?

Should be able to connect to the WAP using the IP address. Make sure you hold the reset button for a good 45 seconds. Also some linksys products now require admin as username and admin as password at the login.

As far as I know a WAP54G can only connect as a client to another WAP54G and not a router.
