Hi,
I want to bridge two routers so that my upstairs office can connect to terminal services server downstairs and also give access to my IPAQ and laptop to WI-FI services. Terminal are connected trough wire to there specific router. I think the setup i have is not too far from working since a get the Internet connection of the WRT54G v6 that act as a bridge to get an ip via the Netgear DHCP service.
Symptoms :
i cannot ping from either side, no access to any share, router's interface ect.. . Wired or not.. But my Router 2 get an ip by dhcp so there are talking together for sure.

client bridge works only good with one connection pc behind it due a limitation of the 802.11b protocol. but if you get a dhcp address you wont use client bridge, but just client mode. and the client mode can just operate in routed mode. the old real lan bridge way is wds _________________ "So you tried to use the computer and it started smoking?
