Help!
I want to set up internet access for a several computers in a different room from my wireless gateway (Linksys WAG54G). Linksys support said the only way to do this was to buy two of their access points (WAP54G was recommended) and set them both up in wireless bridging mode, with one of those physically connected to my gateway, and the other connected to a network switch (where I could then plug in the different computers I want to get on the network.)
The kids at the "Big Box Computer Store" said I could do this and save a lot of setup hassle w/a wireless gaming adapter (Linksys WGA54G). Sure enough the setup was easy enough, but only one of my computers plugged into the network switch has internet access. Now I'm unsure whether it's a setting on my second computer that's the problem, or was this doomed to failure from the start (can the WGA54G only handle one IP address at a time?)
Can someone offer any tricks to try before I take the gaming adapter back and get an couple access points?
thanks! Frank
