Most of the bridges that I have set up can be configured with a browser. They usually come with a Windows program that locates the box and allows you to configure it. That will not work for OS/2. Check the documentation for the default IP address of Ethernet side of the bridge. Use the TCP/IP configurator to set your system to an IP address that is in the same network as the bridge and reboot. It usually will be in the 192.168.x.x range with a netmask of 255.255.255.0. You should then be able to open a browser and go the bridge at its default IP and configure it. Give the bridge a fixed IP that is outside the range of the DHCP IP addresses passed out by the router. This will allow you to address the bridge when you have it working. You will need to configure the WLAN side of the bridge to match your wireless router (security, etc.). After setting up the bridge, you will need to go back into the TCP/IP configurator and set the appropriate parameters (DHCP, etc.) and reboot again. -- Chuck McKinnis 1449 State Highway 14 N Sandia Park, NM 87047 505-286-3191 http://www.7cities.net/~mckinnis/ The Lord will give strength unto his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace.
