Default Re: Wireless Network Help

Thanks for the input guys. In response to deit's question. I have a wireless router with internet in one building. In the other building, I just have a router and wireless bridge. I want to be able to pull the internet over the wireless bridge to the second router so that I, in effect, extend the range of the network. Yeah, it would probably be easier just to scrap the whole thing and start from scratch...but hey...gotta have a reason to hate computers and networking...

So far, with the above setup, I had the wet11 (wireless bridge) connected to the ethernet 1 port of the 2nd router. I am able to ping the wet11, the 2nd router, and the 1st router w/ internet - from my computer which is wirelessly connected to the 2nd router. Unfortunately, I can't get to the internet. I've tried moving the wet11 connection to the "internet cable in" connection of the router (where you would normally connect the modem), and then I can't ping anything but the 2nd router. I tried switching to ad-hoc and infrastructure mode with either setup, with no luck.

The reason I'm trying this is because I know that the Wet11 is supposed to allow bridging of two "wired" networks...and figured it shouldn't be much harder to bridge two "wireless" networks. Of course, I have now reached the extent of my network computer geek knowledge and am now fumbling...any other ideas?
