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
