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

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!
