hey.. quick question. how do i go about disabling the router bit and just let it act as an access point for this particular model?
basicaly what i have at home is a computer connected to dail-up at the moment and so that is the 'gateway' pc/one with internet shareing on but will go to broadband very soon (when i have approval from the parents and money )
Anyways,... when i pluged it in via the usual ethernet port replaceing the old hub it had an ip conflict (198.168.0.1) because of ICS so i set the router to .0.2 extension and got it working.. i fiddled around with some settings there (security etc) and something relating to static ip (logical thinking would be set the ip for the ICS comp rite?) but doesn't seem to work..
files and other stuff transfer ok from my laptop and pc but just the net wont seem to work.. altho i hear from somewhere that this is possible (to set just as an access point nothing else) but not sure of the method involved.
Router is: Dlink DL-524
wifi laptop adaptor is dlink 6something
Pc with net sharing stated in profile and sig
running winxp home
laptop is a Toshiba Satalite 1750 +512mb extra ram (old but still works)
running winMe (what a nightmare to network)
soon to add a P3 comp, fedora or xphome os havent decided yet, most likely cabeled to the router's ethernet port due to limited $ supply..
thanks.
