Hi guys. I was wandering if you could help me get my brother's computer connected to the Internet. Here's what he has: Wireless Router: Buffalo WHR-G54S Wireless NIC: Buffalo WLI2-PCI-G54S DSL modem/router: Bt Voyager 220v And the problem is as follows: He wants his home set up so that his computer is upstairs, and that his modem and router are both downstairs. We set up the computer upstairs and both routers downstairs and to begin with, we found that we could connect to the wireless router, but not the DSL one or the Internet. Later we discovered that the cabling was wrong. So we sorted the cabling out so that everything was plugged into the right socket. Then we found that we couldn't connect to the wireless router. There's a lot more to the story which, now that I think about it, doesn't make sense. The simple problem is that when the computer is connected to the BT router via Ethernet, it is able to connect to the web, but to do that, the computer has to be downstairs next to it. We can't connect wirelessly. We are able to connect to the wireless router, but not the internet. I know my description isn't great, but neither is the situation. It all became a huge confusion because none of my family know what they're doing, but they won't let me just get on with it, and now I'm lost because it all doesn't logically add up. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Col Immitation is the sincerest form of copyright infringement.

crossover from BT routers lan port to wireless routers lan port. Disable dhcp on the wireless router and assign a static ip address to it in the BT lan subnet range [BT router is doing dhcp which will flow thru the wireless router]. Many posts here on this setup. Are you ready for where Microsoft wants you to go today?

The devices are already conected via a crossover cable, and DHCP is already disabled on the wireless router. I haven't given it a static IP though. I'll try that and get back to you. Immitation is the sincerest form of copyright infringement.
