Hi, I am setting up cisco 1100 ap at work for wireless acess. I have it set up as dhcp..problem is It does give out correct ip address and getway..I do get connetcted, but internet doesnt work. If i put in ip addresses it takes me there but, it wouldnt work with names.

What shows the command ipconfig /all at your workstation on screen? Specially the DNS entry is interesting. Paul

Does it work when you don't run VMware? Imagine the power if you knew how to internet search

1. is the Cisco 1100 the router, that connects you to the internet? 2. are the DNS servers in the Cisco Router configured manually? The ip address 166.108.203.86 is a public ip address and I wonder, why your client gets a public ip address. The Cisco should have 2 IP addresses, one public assigned by the ISP and one private, mostly 192.168.x.x Your pc should get an ip address out of the range 192.168.x.x from the Cisco router.
