Wired WRT54G as AP only (no router, no nat)?

[batkins]

I have a venerable Cisco678 as my DSL router with NAT and DHCP serving my wired connections. I want to use my WRT54G as a simple access point (not a wireless bridge) with no routing, no NAT, no firewall. Basically, the same network on both sides, with just a bridge mode between the Internet connection and the LAN/WLAN side.

Is this possible? Can I do it with Linksys BIOS? If not, what BIOS is the most trouble free (I really don't want to make my WRT54G another hobby

Thanks!

BIOS? Firmware perhaps?

Anyway, login to the router's admin page and disable DHCP. Uplink the device however you plan on doing it, straight from the router or from a switch piggy backed off it. You connect via the LAN port, NOT the WAN port. Ta-da. You have an AP. And a nifty one at that, with a built in switch. Your done. Enjoy.
