    Cisco Project...

    Well, I'm assuming he's far enough along in CCNA to have learned switching, trunking, VLANs. We did that in CCNA 4, and CCNA 3 was basically semi-advanced routing (EIGRP, OSPF, etc). Unfortunately for me, the most complicated thing we did in Cisco 4 was set up a few routers, few switches, and 9...

    Need to connect older PC to Wireless Network

    No idea if the DI-524 is client-capable, but the Linksys WRT54G is perfectly capable of being run as a client. I'm doing it now, courtesy of the gentleman Here No need for WDS, either. Theoretically it's pretty simple, it just took me a lot of tweaking to get them to play properly. The firmware...

    HOWTO: Use Linksys WRT54G as a wireless ethernet bridge

    Actually, no, I'm essentially the same system you are. DI-624 as the gateway and WRT54G as client. Working fine, but I still haven't tried encryption. Not terribly worried right now; I'll get to it soon. As for that port forwarding, yeah, I imagine that'd work. Especially if you're not...

    HOWTO: Use Linksys WRT54G as a wireless ethernet bridge

    Yeah, I used WPA-PSK + Mac filtering until I added the Linksys. Can't get the sonbitch to work with 128bit WEP or WPA. I'll play with it some more later and I'll try 64. I know most morons won't bother trying to crack encryptions, especially around an upper middle-class area, but still, I'd much...

    HOWTO: Use Linksys WRT54G as a wireless ethernet bridge

    Well, it's working fine now without encryption but with MAC filtering set on the D-Link. That'll do for now as long as no one can access the Linksys (hopefully in client mode it really doesn't allow clients to connect to it.) Not showing up in my site surveys from 4 feet away, so I think all is...

    HOWTO: Use Linksys WRT54G as a wireless ethernet bridge

    Sigh. It was working fine with no encryption. DNS and everything. Now I cannot get them to work with each other with WEP or WPA. This is getting really old.

    HOWTO: Use Linksys WRT54G as a wireless ethernet bridge

    Yeah, I've done some playing with DHCP on commercial routers, but nothing heavy. One thing I can't remember is if I should just completely automate everything, point to the WRT for DHCP, or point through it at the D-Link for it. I shall experiment. I've been waiting and looking for about a...

    HOWTO: Use Linksys WRT54G as a wireless ethernet bridge

    Success! At least, for the major problem. Yeah, disabling all filtering and security resulted in a near-instantaneous connection and DHCP assignment to the Linksys. And at first I could ping out into the WAN on a client connected to the Linksys. Just need to do a bit of DNS troubleshooting and...

    HOWTO: Use Linksys WRT54G as a wireless ethernet bridge

    Just reconfigured with WEP. Still nothing. I don't know what the devil's wrong with this setup. It's almost as if instead of the wired being broken now, wireless is. Heh. Unfortunately I have to go to class, otherwise I'd spend another three hours troubleshooting this thing. Hmn. Did you have to...

    HOWTO: Use Linksys WRT54G as a wireless ethernet bridge

    Oy. I've spent the last 5 hours attempting to get this to work, suffering through a bad firmware (used an older Sveasoft and had useless wired ports until redoing it with the one you suggested). Now, I swear I have everything set up properly, but it's as if the two routers just don't see each...
