Question about a switch.....

[BostonMike]

Hope someone here can help. If not I would appreciate being pointed in the right direction. We have a small network here at work. We had an ADSL router linked to a 12 port switch. On one of the ports I had a Linksys wireless router hooked up.(I did this because I had an extra one lying around and wanted wireless for the laptops) I had set the wireless router up so that DHCP was disabled and gave it a different IP addy. 192.168.1.2. Where the ADSL router was 192.168.1.1. Essentially it was being used as a wireless switch. Everything worked fine till recently the ADSL router crapped out. I replaced it with another and everything seems fine but now I can't log into it. The new router assighns IP addy in a 10.0.0.0 fashion. I'm sure it must assign an addy to the Linksys correct? How do I log on to it to change the SSID or shut ithe broadcast off etc? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

plug into it with a computer, manually set the ip address of that computer to match the right Class C range that the wireless router is on, and go to the configuration page at 192.168.1.2
change the IP of the router to an address in the 10.0.0.x class c and hook it back up as you had it.

Wow, why did I not think of that? It makes sense and is so simple. I think I need to get more sleep. Thankyou for your answer. I will try this when I get to work in the morning.
