Question on Media Bridge and dhcp

Mar 31, 2008 0 Replies

Hi All,



I Ethernet connected a desktop (no spare PCI slots) with a D-Link DWL-3150, 802.11g Wireless G Bridge to a USR 5461 AP/router/hub.



The DWL-3150 directions had me set my IP to



192.168.0.10 and then log into the DWL-3150 on
192.169.0.30 to configure it. After configuring it, I was able to surf the Internet.

Question: after configuring the DWL-3150, can I set the computer's TCP/IP setting back to use the DHCP server on the USR 5461? Any reason why I should not do this? Am I missing something about the way a "bridge" is suppose to work?



If it helps, the USR 5461's status page thinks the desktop is connected as a "wired" device.



Many thanks,



-T
