Default Setting up a SmartBridges air bridge total

Hi,

Trying to set this up - but on the edge of my understanding ....

Installed simpleMonitor - and can connect to SB and set setings etc

Tested and in AdHoc mode can connect a wireless laptop to a PC with the
airbridge plugged in direct - so assume all is physically working.
Laptop can ping the PC - but not the SB ?

In Infrastructure mode I can associate with a wireless AP (acually a
wireless router which has internet connection)

But whatever I try I can't get the PC to access the internet through
the router. All are static IP addresses - I can ping the SB but not
the router - but I'm not entirely sure how this is supposed to work -
is it a sort of pass through ?

192.168.1.15 (ClientPC) to 192.168.1.22 (SB) to 192.168.1.1 (ADSL
wireless AP)

Have I missed something obvious in the setup here - or is it possible
that my wireless AP / Router (Dlink G604T) won't work like this for
some reason.

Tried DHCP mode - but this didn't seem to get anywhere - even though
ADSL wireless AP is a DHCP server.

Is there some security issue I'm missing - I've set the WEP on the SB
unit so that it can associate with the AP - and thought that was all I
had to do

Any ideas ?
Thanks
James

Is DHCP working on the PC through SB?
Or are you manually configuring?

Default Re: Setting up a SmartBridges air bridge total

I was manually configuring - but have now sorted it thanks.

It was a silly mistake - router insisted on ASCII WEP keys - SB using
Hex - durr
Switched all security off - got it working and then put keys back in
place - carefully !

Thanks for your time

I do wish wireless networks were a bit more forthcoming in telling you
you have the wrong key - thats twice in a week I've been caught out
with wrong keys - but all appears to be connected none the less - just
doesn't work

Best wishes
James
