Re: Wireless Connectivity Problem

Hi All,

I am having a big problem setting up a wireless connection and something 
tells me its in settings. But as I am no expert in the least maybe someone 
could help me. I apologise for any crossposting as I am unsure what would be 
the perfect group for this. I have contacted D-Link Support but still no 
answer as yet.

Equipment:

Desktop Computer with Ethernet card in Home Office
Momitsu 880N Media Player in Lounge (about 12 metres away)

D-Link Equipment:

D-Link DSL-G604T Wireless ADSL Router
D-Link DWL-G810 High-Speed Wireless Bridge


My Equipment page http://support.dlink.com/products/


Description of functions:

 Via the Momitsu, I should be able to wirelessly view movies, photos, listen 
to music, etc. from the computer or connect to internet, etc. through the 
Momitsu back to my computer.

 I had this all set-up once, so I know it can work - but due to 
failing/changing equipment I cannot now get it to work again because of a 
setting up problem it seems.

 I have initially set-up the D-Link DSL-G604T Wireless ADSL Router through 
the Internet Explorer page using http://10.1.1.1  as stated in the user 
manual, with IP address set automatically.

After this install and set-up, when now typing in the command prompt 
"ipconfig/all" - I get the following:

Windows IP Configuration

Host Name:......................(Computer name is here)
Primary DNS Suffix:.......(Blank) <--- this just indicates there was nothing 
stated
Node Type:.......................Unknown
IP Routing Enabled:........No
Wins Proxy Enabled:......No

Ethernet Adaptor Local Area Connection:

Connection specific DNS Suffix:.....(Blank)
Description:............................Intel Pro/100 blah blah blah
Physical Address:.................XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX    <---- has 
letters/numbers here of course - typical for below too
Dhcp Enabled:...........................Yes
Autoconfiguration Enabled:...Yes
IP Address:.............................10.1.1.x
Subnet Mask:.........................255.0.0.x
Default Gateway:...................10.1.1.x  <----- Next 3 are identical
DHCP Server:.........................10.1.1.x
DNS Servers:.........................10.1.1.x
Lease obtained:....................(Date & Time here)
Lease Expires:......................(Date & Time here)

I have set up for my ADSL connection and my internet works fine.

I then attached the D-Link DWL-G810 High-Speed Wireless Bridge to one of the 
ports on the ADSL Router and power up.

I then open IE and type in http://192.168.0.30   (as stated in the manual) 
in order to set up for the wireless connection to my computer.

It will not open up a set-up page in any way!

Even if I connect the G810 direct to the Computer Ethernet port to try it, 
it will still not connect.

So I cannot set up the DWL- G810 to attach to the Momitsu to get any 
signals.  I even borrowed a D-Link DWL-2100AP and this could not be set up 
either through a web page.

Usually it just requires the IP address and the Mac designation of the 
computer/router pasting into the set up page of the DWL-G810 in order to 
eventually talk to the router/computer.

I have run a long Ethernet cable from the ADSL Router port to the Momitsu 
Ethernet Port as a test and it works with no problems (automatically taking 
on the IP settings, etc.)

I have no idea what to do next.

So my questions are these:

What am I doing wrong with this set-up?

What must I do to have the ADSL working with my computer if any settings 
have to change?

What must I do to ensure that the DWL-G810 when connected to the Momitsu 
will wirelessly talk with my Router/Computer? How do set it up through the 
above ADSL Router to accomplish this?

Any help on this matter resolved as soon as possible would be appreciated.

I apologise if this is a long message but felt as many details that I am 
aware of should be listed.

Regards,

FG
