trouble connecting d-link DWL-820 through DI-634M to internet

Hi.



I have a DWL-820 'gaming adapater' attached to a laptop (ip address



192.168.1.135, subnet 255.255.255.0, gateway: 192.168.1.1). I can connect to the admin utilities of both devices, and I've defined valid DNS servers on the client attached to the 820, but for some reason I can't browse the web (or ping the dns servers for that matter). Any ideas?

Thanks, MIke

Client connected to DWL-820: ip: 192.168.1.6 subnet: 255.255.255.0 router: 192.168.1.135

DWL-820:

192.168.1.135 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1

DI-634M, connected to cable modem:

192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 98.192.140.1

Silly me -- just set the router on the client attached to the DWL-820 to 192.168.1.1 and it works.

Well, yeah, you set the clients to route their packets to the gateway, not to the interim bridge device (the gaming adapter). The gaming adapter only has an address so it can be reached for configuration. It doesn't respond as a router. Glad you figured it out!
