Hello-
I have a wireless network. I have a computer that will not support a wireless adapter card in another room that I wish to connect to this network. So, I bought a Linksys WGA11B (it's called a wireless gaming adapter, but it has an ethernet port and the Linksys site says you can connect it to a computer, hub, etc. So, it is basically a bridge). I have managed to get it connected to my wireless network. The problem is getting it to work with the computer. I am thinking it is something to do with the IP of the computer, I have tried DHCP, setting an IP that my router would accept(192.168.0.?), setting an IP that linksys devices use (192.168.1.?). I am at a total loss. Does anyone have any suggestions?
